Who the fuck is Clay?

Nick, welcome to the forums. You're not the first jumper to dislocate a shoulder, it's been discussed on the Safety and Training forum. See this thread if there's any info you could use.

Good to hear the injury hasn't put you off continuing with the AFF. Best of luck with the rest of them when your fit enough to get back up there.

Welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums! Keep a positive attitude with your injury, sometimes these things just happen. In the meantime you can read and learn a lot from the forums.

i had that happen once when i was a student. i think the cause of mine was a loose chest strap which led to the lift web being out more on my bicep than usual. most student gear is made to adjust quite a bit so just make sure you have it tightened to fit well....welcome to dz.com

I had my shoulder pop out of joint somewhere around my 30th jump. It took some surgery and therapy. I've got a bunch more with no problems. yay. My doctor says it was probly from a injury when I was a child....... I didn't tell him I'm not about to grow up.

Hey dude, I feel your pain! I dislocated my right shoulder on my Level 3 when I flared. Totally bizarre. My BF is kicking my butt to make me do my physical therapy exercises -- I'm so lucky to have him around, otherwise I really wouldn't do them.

Anyway, heal quickly, do your exercises and welcome!

Ya know, I know exactly what you mean! I was trying to track head down into this group (that was all-over-the-place by the way!!! geezzz... those jerks!) anyway, I didn't hear my audible, and guess what?? they start breaking off... I saw a pc fly right under me, oh welllll, r/shoulder level2 seperation, lucky me???

Heads up man!

I knew this guy, he said he could pound a nail through his p***s and it wouldn't bleed... so it bet him... well it bled... a lot! lol!!!!!

Yeah..it kinda sucks...this is the second time I have dislocated it in 3 years.I am pretty sure it happened when I depolyed my chute,I only realised I did it when I was doing a control check and I could not flare or make any left turns with the toggle.
Doc says the knife may be the only feasible option to prevent it happening again,as I dont really need it happening again in freefall etc.....ha...back to the exercises...
