Thanatos340 1 #14 October 21, 2005 Does it Hurt when you go back up after you open your chute? When you open your chute, how high does it pull you back up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivermom 0 #15 October 21, 2005 A lot of people say "you're doing that with two small children?" and I respond "No, they don't jump with me." And my response to the question "Why are you doing that?" is "you will never know that unless and until you do it yourself." They usually have no response to that.Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psipike02 0 #16 October 21, 2005 My top 3 are: 1. So you jump out of perfectly good airplanes for fun? 2. What happens if your chute doesn't open? 3. Is it safe/how many people die/how fast do you go? THEN, i get the "you're f*cking crazy" reply or stare.Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diversgodown 0 #17 October 21, 2005 Quote"Why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" If I had a dollar for everytime that was asked of me, I could have my own DZ! I havent' been jumping that long but that is the one I get. I usually respond because the door was open and I have a perfectly good parachute on, and if not well I got a backup.. ***Glory Favors the Bold*** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

artistcalledian 0 #20 October 21, 2005 people at work have asked me if i've got a death wish, i said "no, i've got a life wish" And i got asked earlier this week (about my DZ) how often do people die there? i said "just the once"________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erikzero 0 #21 October 21, 2005 I try not to tell anyone I jump but they ask about my pin neckless or see me looking at skydiving stuff. If they make a stupied comment I give them a nasty look up and down followed by a nasty comment then I walk away. If they are really interested then I talk about it to another person.
