Quote Just so I know who I'm talking to, was your accident the result of a broken steering line? Yup. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflygoddess 0 #27 August 18, 2003 Quit are you kidding??? I can't go a week without airtime. I have had to skydiving related injuries, first one on my 13th jump, I flared to high and let it up...bad bad bad idea, know better now. I broke my leg and tore my meniscus in my right knee (ok I know I can't spell...) As soon as my leg was healed and I could walk, I was jumping again, which was about three weeks afterwards, until I had surguy on my knee the next month. Stay away for four miserable weeks, was becoming the biggest bitch any one has ever seen. First jump back was very nervouse but got through it just fine. Did great until a few weeks ago when I hit a dust devil, Arizona got love our shitty afternoon air in the summer, and it slamed my into the ground and I twisted my ankle. Was back jumping one week later, lots of but slides until it was fully healed last weekend, now finally back to myself again...hopefully no more "Hey dusty butt" coming from Coop any more...

yardhippie 0 #28 August 18, 2003 its interesting all the responeses out there. even the 7 who thing they are invincible. but hey... I made 3 jumps at Rantoul on a broken ankle... I was back in the air 2 months after a total shoulder rebuild ( not metal parts or screws) but it still hurts if I aint careful. and I have talked to more who have jumped w/ casts, sprains, and other injuries. im hopin that I can manage a jump in a couple of weeks cus if I go more than a few weeks and go back to school.... im gonna be a pissed-off and grumpy dude! Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
