So I have fellow jumper who is causing some concern with me. This person has less then 50 jumps and has managed to break 2 bones in the past 6 months during landings (2 separate occasions). This possibly due to the fact that they were downsizing. (broken tail bone, then cracked rib) A little info, this person weighs under 130 and is currently jumping a 170 hoping to downsize to a 160. Keep in mind this person jumped a 290 till about jump 20. Sorry about not putting more detail but I want to be vauge so as not to identify the person of topic. This person is also having a tendency on break off to track ontop of other jumpers and is pulling around 2.5k. Which is not really low depending on your experience level. The reason I ask is because when I mentioned something to this jumper they got offended and said that they have jumped with people who have over 3000 jumps who think they are doing fine. Unfortunetly I only have 164 jumps so I am not really in a place to make a experienced statement. Basically what it comes down to is that I don't want to see my friend get seriously hurt and it seems that if this trend continues that will be the case. Does anyone have some thoughts as how to deal with this kind of issue?

So I have to ask, does anyone here have anything that might resemble adrenaline withdrawal. I know that if I do 5 or more jumps over a weekend I don't usually sleep very well and am a little figity for the next 2 or 3 days. Serious question though. I just want to know if others get the same feelings when they are not jumping and what they do to take their mind off of it. Also I was reading some material about adrenaline addiction does anyone know if there are any negative side effects to this? Or should I just jump more to keep this from happening.

I got some awesome pictures from above the Rockies today. I'll post them once I get them developed. So does taking pictures with a 6 dollar camera in freefall count as a first camera jump? Did a fun Track and Dive with about 7 of the jumpers here in Colorado. It’s a nice dropzone (mile high) but they have no night life apparently nobody goes out on weekends. People just jump for the day and leave. The plane was fast about 15 min from ground to door open. They jump at 12.5K AGL here which I figure is about 17-18K ASL. So needless to say there is an oxygen bottle that is passed around during jump run. Kind of sucks if you’re in the back you start to get really light headed before you leave the plane. Lots of free fliers at this dropzone so if you are one of us flat fliers then you need to travel with a buddy. So after checking it out I definitely think that CO is not a place I want to live. There are no trees here and it just does not feel like home. Can't wait to get back to CSS in a couple of weeks. I'll post some pictures once I finish getting them developed.
