    Your previous post mentions you have had a heart attack. Are they thinking about giving you a pacemaker due to irregular heart rhythms (atrial fib or flutter)? If so, they may give you a ICD or Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator. Those are a little bit bigger in size than a regular pacemaker. If they decide that you require a pacemaker or ICD pay attention to where they will place the device. This is usually the left or right side of your chest. I now have my pacemaker placed just off center of my chest. This avoids the straps rubbing against it when I jump. Not a huge issue, but something to think about. Best of luck, BNB

    YES. I have had a pacemaker since the age of 9. I started jumping at 18 and have over 2,700+ jumps. If you have "rate response" turned on your hear rate will increase during the first few seconds of the jump as you accelerate. But shouldn't that happen?... your jumping out of an airplane.
