Topic: Fancy doing another parachute jump........

I posted before about a parachute jump for charity and awareness, from space...... Didn't get many takers that time so how about this sort of jump????

Simple, all you have to do is jump out of a helicopter at 2400 ft, no parachute and land on some cardboard boxes.....

Gavin, I would be the first to sign up but want to give everyone else the chance first!

Ha ha!! I agree. After all, it would be rude not to give others the chance to put themselves forward first!! wink

Re: Fancy doing another parachute jump........

Yea Lainy, I a right BEHIND you.  Because really it isn't fair to push to the front and I am more than willing to let others have this once in a lifetime experience.

Re: Fancy doing another parachute jump........

They just showed this on the news here! Sorry, I would LOVE to try it, but with the pump in my abdomen I'm sure the change in altitude, plus the bumpy landing, would be nixed by Dr. Kemeny!!! smile

Re: Fancy doing another parachute jump........

I can't believe you're all insisting everyone else goes first!! Come on, I'll take the lead and ... ooops, was that my phone ringing?? ... Sorry, it appears that whatever day you're planning this jump for, I've got a prior engagement ...

Let me know how it goes wink
