I'm jumping out of a plane tomorrow

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.

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

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
]
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.
