Tony Cartmill Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Jump Man, Details on the skydiving accident please. Was it a parachute problem, or just landing on something not flat or soft enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'll be at the show provided no blizzard blocks the road between here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpMan Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Tony-No malfunctions. In Brief...left the plane @ 13,000 ft. linked up with my jump partner, made a few patterns, pulled at 2,800 ft. everything opened fine, my friend landed and I was going to land fairly close to him (keep in mind landing approach speed until 15 ft above ground(for a soft stand-up landing) was normal approx. 30 mph.)I think I watched my friend just a little to long and pulled the chutes lines to slow down lower than 15 ft. and here is the catcher, because ALL my previous 50 some landings have been "stand-up" my feet were apart (not together to hit and roll) so I could not get my feet together in a fraction of a second to hit and roll and hit the ground and fell forward. Snap.The thing is my ankle hurt real bad but never having broken any bones before I thought I just sprained it. So I stood up, gathered up my chute, walked about 100 feet to the clubhouse, went up 6 steps to get inside. My ankle was kinda floopy . After a few minutes I decided I should go to a hosp. and have it checked out.Voila! It was broke and ligaments tore. I now have a stainless steel bar in my ankle along with six screws! My ankle still swells up some but goes down at night then I start over the next day. Dr's said it could swell for up to a year. When the weather warms up I will be ready to jump again . Skydiving is so free feeling, exciting, challenging and the clouds even smell different! It was unusual. If you ever thought about jumping I would do it. There is nothing like it!!! I sugesst a tandem jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yikes, 30 mph, with 15 ft. to spare?... I may try it one day. Do you always prepare your own chute, or rely on someone else to pack it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpMan Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Actully I do both. Pack myself and sometimes have someone else pack for me. Student chutes the speed and angle of decent is less than experienced chutes. Some young kids really come in smokin! Tandem jumps are very safe!Skydiving is dangerous but not as much as you might think. Most accidents are hard landings with people really smokin' in and making a bad judgement.I really am fairly conservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMY TUNES Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Tony, may I suggest a tandem jump with Sugarbaby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpMan Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 There are all sorts of fun jumps you could try...Skyboards, inflatables, rafts, nature jumps and of course linking up and making patterns with a friend or with 35 friends...
