1969912 0 #8 January 8, 2007 If its a tandem jump, blow the chunks during freefall! Really, though, just keep jumping. It will go away. The ginger suggestion is a good one.

AggieDave 6 #10 January 8, 2007 Had you eaten prior to your skydive? I bet you didn't for fear of being sick, huh? Well, the adrenline dump will turn your stomach. Same if you ate poorly or weren't well hydrated. Were you hung over? Beyond that, jump more, you'll get over it.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Oke 0 #11 January 8, 2007 Pheeww...Not the only one then haha. I came pretty damn close to as well. Free Fall...perfectly fine. Right after free fall...not so good. Got on the ground...one good heave and nothing came up, after that I was perfectly fine. So much adrenaline, maybe shock? I don't know....but not a deturrent thats for sure.

Unstable 9 #12 January 8, 2007 Don't throw up please. I am that guy the DZ who wanders around all weekend and usually winds up cleaning the barf off the student gear once it has dried. No fun. I usually do it once a summer and at LEAST once during WFFC. =========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 9 #13 January 8, 2007 QuoteIf its a tandem jump, blow the chunks during freefall! I was packing tandems at WFFC a year or two ago, and the guy I was packing for had a little 90 pound girl toss her cookies under canopy. As she got ready to hurl - the TM did a hard turn to divert the flow of vomit away from himself and the gear. She turned her head to the Opposite side, and upon landing, not a single drop was visible. I pack the tandem, get ready to put it in the container (Vector 2 tandem) and to my horror, I found EVERY DANG DROP made it in the main container. Didn't miss a drop. I still can't figure out how that little girl torqued herself around that far to have such great accuracy. Oh, please don't take a whizz when you get excited under canopy. I've cleaned that as well. I felt so bad for the student I bought him lunch and got him a towel at the local grocery store.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willard 0 #14 January 8, 2007 Peppermint and ginger work? I'll have to try that myself. I'd hate to have to blow Chunks. Poor little guy probably just wants to lay out and lick his... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gene03 0 #15 January 8, 2007 A bit of fresh peppermint or a small piece of fresh (best) or candied ginger. Chew slowly, spit out what you don't want to swallow. Aggie Dave is right on about the adrenaline dump though. I'm confused... is Chunks his roomate or his dog?“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

Gene03 0 #17 January 8, 2007 True story. A video guy and I up at East Troy years ago watched a male dog doing what male dogs do sometimes. Greg smiles and says to me; "Wouldn't you like to be able to do that Gene? I know I would." I'd been waiting years to use this line... "I don't know Greg, You might want to try petting him a little bit first."“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

Unstable 9 #18 January 8, 2007 Drink plenty of water throughout the day before your jump (but please see my comment on Not taking a whizz) - I think most of the students I've seen toss their lunches were dehydrated - especially on those 90+ hot summer days, wearing a thick student jumpsuit. take care of yourself.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RODIMUS 0 #19 January 8, 2007 That could have been it. I didn't drink much water the day before or the day of. And it was like 95 out that day.In memory of Tim Dugan. Died Nov. 24th 2007 of cancer. We will jump again my friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #20 January 8, 2007 QuoteHadn't eaten a thing that morning. Ding, we have a winner. Next time eat a decent breakfast. Nothing too heavy, nothing too light. Just something that you like. You have to have food in your stomach. Later, in AFF, you'll realize that you need the food for energy and so you can concentrate.

willard 0 #22 January 8, 2007 My gut starts turning on the walk to the plane. By the time we're halfway to altitude it's like a cage full of hampsters on crack. Seems strange to me, though, that as soon as I get to the door and look down it quits and I'm fine after that. I'm pretty sure Chunks is the DZ dog, but I wouldn't put money on it. Hey! New thread idea! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RODIMUS 0 #23 January 8, 2007 Thanks for all the answers. Very helpful. And BTW, where I'm from the term blowing chunks is another way of saying...puking, getting sick, etc. You sick fuckers, lol.In memory of Tim Dugan. Died Nov. 24th 2007 of cancer.
