redfax 0 #1 May 4, 2006 Hi, I've never sky dived (well, i tried jumping off tables with plastic bags when I was six, but results where somewehat underwhelming), but I had a question regarding parachutes I've been unable to find info about elsewhere, and I was directed here from another forum...

Personally, I used several heftey bags and some very high branches. You would think after a very bad sprained wrist and ankle I would learn my lesson....HA!I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.

A sort of cross between BASE / rope jumping / bungee jumping and skydiving. All I have to say on the matter is ouch those rope burns and sore sore legs, even worse than the rapid openings on the student 280's Leeds University Skydiving Club www.skydiveleeds.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jamingood 0 #9 May 22, 2006 Hi so have i just registered cool here isn't it if this sight is like the sport then this will so helpfull...

They left my brother and I with the six foot diameter parachute, that we subsequently busted ourselves up with at a nearby ravine, temporarily putting on hold our dreams of flight. --------------------------------------------- " Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man..."
