onun 0 #1 August 4, 2005 Hello,my name is Nuno and i`m from Portugal.I`m 34yrs old have 376 jumps.Have not jumped in a year nd a half,cause in my last jump i was attacked by planet earth.Just minding my own buisness when wham it hit me.I tried to avoid it but our planet is verry big.Seriously i lost my right toggle 3meters from the ground after a 90 degree front risser turn.Tried to get the back rissers at least i think i did,but was to close to the ground.Was jumping a Faqtor 135 with a wing loading of 1.6.Broke my femure in 2 places and a vertebrei? in 6 places and luckely it did not afect my medula,so i can walk.At the moment i`m in Germany doing my master riggers course at Paratec,should be finished soon.Well thats about all,thanks for your time,and if there is anything i can do to help any one pleas feel free to ask.C U and blue skies and long safe swoops.
