He was a great person who helped me anytime I asked for help no matter how busy he was.....and I had a lot of questions. He was the type of guy that if he happened to walk by and saw I was struggling with packing he'd stop, give advice/tips, and answered all my questions with patience and enthusiasm.

The person talking about verbal abuse and the owner being unprofessional brought in an expired gift certificate (by 9 months!) and couldn't provide a drivers license (she was 31) to prove she was the recipient of the jump when the owner agreed to honor the EXPIRED certificate.

I'm 31....don't know if that's young anymore! I was very surprised to hear 2 months as well. I was fearful of him saying never again. I will practice a lot of PLF's off chairs first and I'm sure our S & TA's will be very careful before giving me their ok to jump again.

I jump at a small DZ also. I jumped my own pack job on my Level 7 AFF. I pulled high just in case!

Great advice.....it reminds of advice I got about flaring. When you think you're going to flare too low wait a couple more seconds. I have flare issues and was flaring high.

I always tell people I didn't do it skydiving....I wasn't out of the plane! I liken it to someone getting out of their vehicle to go play golf and breaking a leg, only difference is my vehicle is a plane and I definitely wasn't going to play golf! I'm shooting for Memorial Weekend to jump again, but everyone at the DZ looks at me like I'm crazy. It'll be 9 weeks by then and the doctor said 2 months, so I'm thinking positive.....or I'm in severe denial.

Plate w/ 6 screws in ankle of left leg after slipping on ice 3 years ago. One month ago, twisted wrong IN plane 3 seconds before exit (didn't go out), spiral fracture tib and fib. Titanium rod in tibia. Stretching and exercising leg everyday (after threat of 10# weight on knee to straighten leg). Ready to jump; 1 more month to wait at least.
