Hello all. I`ve never jumped from an airplane, yet, but I recently decided that I was going to do
a static jump. After lurking aroung this site for a while I am starting to wonder if its something I really want to do.
I will admit that before finding this site I thought that it would be as simple as taking a course, taking a plane ride,
jumping out, and floating peacefully to the ground.
Now I see that there is quite a bit more to it than that.
I understand that skydiving is a dangerous sport, but it really suprised me to see so many posts about
malfunctions and cut-aways. I guess it kinda spooked me a bit at the idea that I might have
a problem/malfunction at an early jump #.
I still want to jump, but I am going to have to talk one of my buddies into doing it with me as I really dont want to go alone.
I have a million questions, but I wont make this post a book.
