we all have off days, it's just a matter of getting in the right frame of mind. accidents do happen, and they make you think, but i personally trust the kit and my abilities so carry on jumping. i am only a student jumper doing RAPS and on my last jump i was not in the right frame of mind, i was in the door on the run in the jumpmaster told me to go, but it didn't register exactly what he said, i turned round and said "what?" and then it twigged what he had said i was told to go again and i jumped. i had a good jump with a good count and pull but i was thinking how stupid that was all the way down. I just tried to enjoy the canopy ride but still couldn't concentrate, then flared a little too late on my landing ending up having to do a parachute roll to avoid hurting myself. i learnt a lot from that jump though, coz i know if i don't concentrate i will make mistakes. don't worry about being scared of jumping, because the day a parachutist has absolutely no fear when jumping, is the day that they should give up the sport, because fear is the only thing stopping us from being dangerous!!
