ntrprnr 0 #1 April 5, 2006 I love getting the chance to do this... [08:59] [name deleted]: Frank was annoyed that he couldn't come with you and J, he said J invited him [09:02] pshankman: It's going to pour. Tell him that he wouldn't want to go - you fall faster than the raindrops, and they're pointy on the top - hence the reason they're round on the bottom - nature's way of protecting people on the ground. When you fall faster than them, you wind up impaling the pointy parts into your skin, and they have to be removed with tweezers on the ground. It freaking HURTS. [09:02] pshankman: I'm not jumping because of that this weekend. If J and Frank want to go, it's up to them. But they leave marks where they impale, and it's NOT fun. Some people are allergic to the drops, as well, and the raindrops make their arms swell up. Not worth jumping in the rain for that reason. [09:03] pshankman: But I'd like to see his play, when it opens! Just let me know when. [09:04] [name deleted]: wait [09:05] [name deleted]: you have to get raindrops tweezed out of your skin [09:05] [name deleted]: you can't be serious_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

simplyputsi 0 #3 April 5, 2006 All true. I've heard a few people tell me of the pointy end. I actually have experienced such a thing, but thankfully my jumpsuit kept them from impailing into my skin. Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't, it blocks the air passage through the skin and we would suffocate in Free Fall! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #5 April 5, 2006 That's why its very important to always wear a full face when jumping in the rain... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
