Read what I wrote...A Normal skydive does not scare me anymore than a normal drive to the store to get Milk.... Now if I am driving to the store to get milk and a guy cuts me off...It can scare me...Just like a guy buzzing me in freefall, while am under canopy can scare me. But a regular skydive does not scare me. I also avoid zoo loads like the plague."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tinkerbelle 5 #79 February 24, 2004 Yeah, one time in Hawaii I left a good more than 5 seconds after the girl in front of me left. She was NEW and was going to practice her "head down". Well apparently she didn't get straight down 'cause she entered my airspace. What's worse, at about 7,000 feet, suddenly a canopy opened under me, well actually right through me! She laughed in the ground that her "shit" had accidently come out! I wasn't laughing 'cause it almost killed me! She had support from another gild/tandem master who was her buddy, so I couldn't get in her shit. I don't do that anyway 'cause I didn't want to be one of those people who barks at people who are learning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
