On my 7th jump and first freefall (5 seconds) placed my left hand too far back behind my head and leaned forward to look as I pulled my ripcord. Did a front flip thru the chute as it opened, got my left arm wrapped up in the risers and nearly lost my right shoe and had complete sensory overload. Finally figured out what was wrong with my arm, had a hell of bruise down the length of it for a while, and stuck my landing. Scared the crap out of me, took a two month hiatus and went back to jump this past weekend but got rained out. Took a great refresher course and am pumped to jump this weekend. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance. Unknown

Always a little nervous, although his mother is much more worried than I. My oldest son and i have always been calculated (well most of the time) risk takers and each of us has accumulated more than 200 stiches and more than a few broken bones over the years. He is now a deep sea commercial diver so his job is way more risky than this wonderful sport. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance. Unknown

Hi all, Started jumping April 1st and now have 4 jumps in with three more scheduled next weekend. Doing the traditional static line training and begin freefalling after one more practice pull and can't wait. Two of my sons started with me although one has dropped out after his 3rd jump as he just didn't like it. So far I love it and am headed toward my A license. Love the forum and the help it provides.
