Beverly 1 #53 April 25, 2006 We did something similar a few years ago. There were four of us and we were attempting to do 100 skydives each within a 12 hour period. We were relatively low jump numbers and definately not fit enough! We started at 0600 with some low cloud and rain. 5 rigs each, around 2.5 minutes from wheels up to wheels down. One porter JM's in the plane despatching us and checking our gear etc people catching us and getting us out of and back into harnesses. About a 4/5 sec delay leaving the aeroplane. We finished with around 4 minutes to spare to the sound of the "final countdown" blaring from the radio and the best sunset I have seen in a while. Also a charity event. It was wicked.

(FAR 105 definition) SKYDIVE: 1. n. The descent of a person to the surface from an aircraft in flight when he or she uses or intends to use a parachute during all or part of that descent. 2. v. To jump form an aircraft with a parachute You will note that neither definition mentions anything about free fall. it is all about leaving an aircraft and riding a parachute down to earth.

Initially when I read the heading on the post, I immediately got down to doing the math to figure out the frequency of his jumping (25 jumps each hour for 24 consecutive hours). The only factors I can think that might prevent are i) fatigue ii) weather iii) logistics issues Also, it might be a lil difficult to maintain the 2.4 minute per jump frequency/interval for jump after jump for 600 times. One slight delay means the next few jumps needs to be done that much faster or shave off few seconds from each remaining jumps. I guess being a part of former SF gives him that mental and physical stamina. Also before reading the entire threads in this post I was not sure if its a skydive, but now I'm convinced, each time you step off that ramp of an aircraft and land safely under a canopy is called a skydive, but then what do I know. I could only wonder, how his log book will be filled with 600 jumps in a matter of 24 hours. Good luck!!
