Hey Xtine
About a year and half ago, I was on a headdown jump and with out getting in to the details some one went flat and I hit him head on, i managed to deploy and drifted down. I broke my neck smashed my nose and had some damaged to my throat. Even to this day it is on my mind every time i leave the door, Took me a wile before i was comfortable jumping in groups again, But this crazy sport is in my blood and didnt think twice about getting back in the saddle, I just pushed on. What im trying to say is, If you really love this sport i think you should push on, Because the fun, pleasure and friends you make in this sport out weigh the risks 10 fold.
I wish you the best and be safe!
