VivaHeadDown 0 #11 August 15, 2002 Another living example that we're more likely to kill ourselves thanks to the little things (like walking or stepping down from an ambulance) than we are from skydiving. In the future, you can say you tried BASE jumping wihtout a chute. You know, because the ambulance was THAT high. It might sound better.

gravitysurfer 0 #14 August 15, 2002 QuoteAnother living example that we're more likely to kill ourselves thanks to the little things (like walking or stepping down from an ambulance) than we are from skydiving. Ain't that the truth?? A few years back I did the winter sojourn to Eloy for about 10 days and 53 jumps. Everything went perfect during the trip. Upon return home during my very first day back on the job I miss stepped the last step on a set of stairs that ended up resulting in breaking the bone that runs along the outside edge of our foot on towards our little toe. I was 'laid up' (ie:not jumping) all the way through the first few weeks of that season WTF..over???? Just goes to show that skydiving can be as safe as we make it be but work on the other hand can be a very serious risk to our health! (on sooo many levels) To SkyMedic~ Dude!!! I'm really sorry to hear about this and I hope you are fully recovered and back in the air very soon! Please take care of yourself and get well brother. Aloha~ aloha.

FallinWoman 1 #23 August 20, 2002 Marcus, honey... I would like to hearby publicaly, formally and humbly apologize for giving you any grief about falling off the ambulance and hurting yourself. At least when YOU fell and hurt yourself, it was from a height of four plus feet. Yes....today I slipped on the tile at work...and hurt my wrist. Way more embarrassing than falling four feet and being injured! (Now do I get sympathy???) ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
