No worries. In your flight kit you get a sponge and a putty knife to get you off the rocks.

i want one of those, but with a superman design

That looks awesome. For the longest time I've wanted to go skydiving. Maybe at some point I might have to find a local school and put together a TGT skydiving event! Sound interesting to anyone?

Man I have wanted to do that my entire life, In fact there is a sky dive school just a couple miles from my house. I can sit on the front porch and see their plane circling the field sometimes.

The palce is called Sky Dive Dallas ( http://www.skydivedallas.com/ ).

The thing for me is that I've still got school aged kids in the household and I just flatly can't see taking the risk while I still have dependents under my wing.

My friend do you know more people die falling in a bath tub and bee stings than jumping out of an aircraft.

very fast

After having to jump once From a c-47 in the middle of january over
Montana you couldn't pay me enough to do it again .
I would rather take my chances with the aircraft.

 

[Wolfwood]

oh shiz.

was it a drill or were ya'll really going down?

 

[majormadmax]

Most likely a jump and not an emergency, C-47s (DC-3s) were/are popular jump platforms!

Hell, I'd most likely would have stayed in the aircraft for several reasons. For one, I've always wanted to fly on a C-47 (what a great aircraft!). Secondly, it was January in Montana, I'd rather stay where it was warm!

I've got a British parachute license and earned Czechoslovak Special Forces jump wings in my "youth," these days I am not sure if my joints could take a PLF! I'd probably end up breaking something, or busting my fourth or fifth points of contact!

That looks like a lot of fun. I not against doing crazy stuff because crazy is fun.
The only thing I consider when doing some Fun and crazy is if I get to live to do it again!
Im kinda thinking the landing would be an issue with that mess.

Skydiving sounds fun! But I am afraid of sudden stops...

The skydiving isn't gonna work for me but there is one thing I'd like to try.......Some skydiving places use a large fan to support the trainee on a blast of air. They are suspended in the air blast so they can practice. I'd love to try that! The problem is that I'm heavy enough to require a supercharged fan. It's not likely to happen!

The same thing happened when I was water skiing. Everyone wants to bare foot ski but that is a function of skier weight and speed. I figured it would take about 95 mph for me to barefoot ski!
