skydivermom 0 #26 November 11, 2005 Thanks Beth. I think I was more ticked off than anything when it happened because I had such a great jump earlier. I was determined to make this jump a great one too, blood or no bloodMrs. 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

tustinr 1 #28 November 17, 2005 I dragged my trailing leg on the step and hit my shin bone while dive exiting a C182 on my 20th odd jump (exited with one leg on the step and the other still in the plane). Wasn't to painful initially but on opening the canopy my new white jumpsuit with booties was red ! On landing I must of had about a litre of blood filling my bootie and a small artery next to the shin bone was merrily pumping blood away in spurts of up to 50cm from my leg !! And it was rather painful !! A few stitches later and I was ready to go but still have the scar !! Needless to say I NEVER did that again !
