I'm jumping out of a plane tomorrow

Wish me luck. Tomorrow I'm going to have a piece of cloth attached to my back and then asked to throw myself OUT of a perfectly good aircraft.
The only thing that is making me do it is for the fact that its for the local childrens ward and a couple of them are coming along to watch me make a hole in the ground if the chute and reseve dont open up.
My mates have been given me courage by telling me the fall wont kill me but the sudden impact of thr ground might have some effect on my life support system.

So if I'm not back on line after 48 hours I give my permission to auction the now world famous WD name "Papa Smurf" on the condition that any money goes to charity. :p :p

In all honesty I dont think I've been this concerended for my well being since...well my last bungee jump. Has anyone one got any advice apart from dont look down and dont die.
Cheers

The first is the worst... :D

Landing is good! :D

Listen & be calm, I did mine in the services so there was no changing my mind! You can so be sure!

Do your checks & rember what you've been taught.

You just need one parachute, no wings, hopefully! Enjoy & Good luck.

Good Luck Papa! Break a leg er...maybe I'm not the one to tell you that. :( ;) :D

Sudden Earth Impacts are known to be fatal....

Good luck!!!

If its any consolation papa, there was an air hostess who fell out of an aeroplane at 25,000 feet with no parachute and survived....

good luck papa smurf. don't forget to pull the cord to let your chute out.

Good luck papa!

Ahhh youll be perfectly fine.. Smurfette has more take over to accomplish on you and much more tourture to inflict.. J/K
Have a great day and just have fun. ;) ;)

good luck and stay safe.


i would never jump out of a plane i have a great fear of hightes, i even hate getting on rollercoaster. when friends or family invite me to go to an amusement park or carnival i always come up with a lame excuse why i cant go.

thats why i just stick to caving.

Its tomorrow! Any squashed Smurfs to clean up..?

ye, it,s tommorrow over here ,but he won,t have landed yet ,,,it,s still dark over there.

Okay Freddy so squashed smurf sandwich for lunch? Though if he's squashed he can hardly post it! :rolleyes: :eek: :D

I guess I'll wait...

In my best free falling voice...


Paaaaaaaaaaaaaa paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Remember the motto of the Palouse Parachute Club: "He who hesitates shall inherit the earth!" Words to live by... :)

Hope the jump and most importantly the landing went well Papa.

was jumping up of a perfectly servicable aircraft your bright idea to raise money or did it seem a really good idea when someone signed you up after a few shandy in the pub.
All parachutes come with a guarantee if both chutes fail to open just bring them straight back and they will give u a new one's.

seriosly hope u raised loads of dosh for the children and had a gr8 time doing it. :D

Remember to ****e before you leave the ground...

I just remembered that my freshman year of school in English, I sat next to an old friend I hadn't seen in a while. He told me that over spring break he went to the beach and went skydiving. The crazy thing is.....that was the FIRST time he'd EVER been in an airplane. :eek:

Papa Smurf! You there?

Hmmmmm.....

:rolleyes: :confused: :(

Actually, it's a good advice anytime you take the plane... :D

Earth calling Papa Smurf !
Papa Smurf, R U there ? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Awesome! Sounds like a lot of fun. I've always wanted to go skydiving, just haven't gotten around to it yet...but it's on my to do list.

I went indoor skydiving a couple years ago and it was alright, but I'm sure nothing like actual skydiving.

Good luck!

Yup I'm here. I jumped, I fell, I pulled the cord, I slowed down and then I landed.

I raised over £5000 the for Kids ward at the hospital. But I admit the kick I got out of the whole experiance was something else. I am seriously thinking of doing this more often. Damm what a rush

Well I had 6 hours training about how to jump and land. The plan waws to go to 10,500ft jump out and freefall for 35 seconds and then pull the cord at around 4,500ft. I was not too keen on doing this but I had 2 instructors jumping with me at the same time to make sure I didnt make a dent in the ground.
Once the place ut 10,500ft I was told I could get ready to jump, While sitting in the plane I WAS scared and even thinking about given up. I stood up done a safety check of my kit, gave the thumbs up and threw myself out the door.
The moment I was out the door I was thinking "Smurf what the hell have you done..you are going to die" but after 3 seconds the adrenalin kicked in and I enjoyed the reset of the freefall. It went by so quick before I pulled the cord and then had another 5 mins of a nice easy decent to terra firma.
I landed without any extra loads or skid marks in the underware area [I was surprised as well
:D ]
But I admit it, I am hooked on the whole area of jumping now, Its a blast and I recommened it to anyone one.
But I even this has helped myt in future missions as I know now covertly jump behin enemy lines in the for revenge attacks on the Goldenyeye kid and more importantly in Operation Smurfberry.

Damn, I had the highest bid on his name as well :rolleyes:
