karenmeal 0 #3 April 14, 2006 If he is in good physical shape some DZ's still might let him jump. It's the 5'2" ladies who are 250 that you reeeaally want to avoid. Kind of a rule of thumb is, if it's a shorter distance to walk around someone than to go over top, maybe they can jump.

Zipp0 1 #8 April 14, 2006 No freakin' way! She has never even been inside an airplane. Also, my mere desire to jump nearly landed us in divorce court. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better have a very secure realtionship and able to part ways as friends if you have an SO in the sport with you. I hear stories of break ups and one or the other has to go find a new DZ to jump.

TheDonMan 0 #10 April 14, 2006 alot of times it just depends on whether the DZ can find a rig that will fit him. His fall rate shouldn't be that bad but i would deffinantly wear weights..

skydivermom 0 #14 April 14, 2006 We had been married ten years when I started jumping. My becoming a skydiver is something neither one of us ever saw coming. My husband loves the idea that I do it (gives him bragging rights I guess) but will probably never get into it. Actually, I'm kinda glad. I would be super nervous if he started doing it.

tbrown 26 #15 April 14, 2006 My wife made one static line jump back in 1980, which is how I met her. That summer she came along on our Yosemite expedition to jump El Capitan (we had permits). Since then she has never made another jump. I try now & then to interest her in making a tandem, just so she can experience freefall, but she has no interest in it. But she's very supportive of my jumping & says she's always know she was marrying a skydiver. She was even okay with my breaking a leg two years ago. So I'm really very lucky to have her and in lots of other ways besides. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know people that make both situations work... the key to a successful relationship (friendship or otherwise) is to make time for the relationship when either party doesn't attempt to make it work the relationship will wain... I'm ok at friendships... I haven't ever really sat still long enough to get very far in more serious relationships (other then w/family...
