My gf and I are planing a parachute jump this summer.

It's in 3 months and we're already THAT excited...

I remember that guy, was 31 years old and still doing some bmx tricks... beside him, any other X-trems?

tandem jumps are not extreme

cliff, bridge or high rise are the only extreme version of parachute jumps

It's a begining. We're most likely to check what we could do after that, maybe a bit more extrem. How many people jumped from a plane around here? Surely just a few (Beside those militaries)

I haven't jumped from a plane yet, but in August I'm going to.

The only real reasoning behind this is because I have this horrible fear of planes and I figure that jumping out of a plane will help me get over it.

Either that or I'll shit my pants....gonna hafta wait and see.

Worse that will happen is your parachute not opening.

Talk about a painless death, though.

No, the worst would be dying AND shitting my pants.

By crashing at that speed, you're most likely to release everything your body has in it.

People have survived their chute not openin, so suffice to say its probably very painful

My dad jumped out of planes in Vietnam. I've been plenty of times.

Here's hoping your's doesn't open, X. That or the wind resistence wont compensate for your fatass in the grip of gravity.

Ive done jumps from planes ,heli , and cliffs ....not sure if repelling counts as extreme but 200 feet down a vertical rock is well.. pretty intense.As for the cute not opening, once you realize its not gonna open you'll probably have a heart attack befor ya hit the ground, an thats pretty painful

HAHOs are great for the ride but HALOs are great for the rush.
