I wanted to go badly for a decade or more and went to a trainer where they teach you technique over a huge fan and it made me want to go more. Then I got married and have a kid....
Now a guy i worked with for nearly ten years is a Parachute Master/Instructor and had been jumping for 20+ years and was encouraging everyone at work to come out and get certified for cheap.
I almost went and family stuff came up and didn't. Seriously think about this it is not a joke....
This guy packs his own chute always has and teaches people how to do it.... His chute didn't open and he left a wife and 3 kids behind. His wife said he died doing what he loved doing and if he wasn't
jumping out of an airplane he wasnt happy. Make sure it is 100% worth it, because it's not like crashing a car or motorcycle you have no chance to survive.[/Qmystake
People have actually survived it. I went twice it was just a malfunction...nobody is perfect. Yes he does his own chute he was the o ly person allowed to do his chute. You have to. It was just a really bad mystake.
Sorry for your loss though man
^^^ wrote it there for some reason
