I get daily city offers through email every day from a couple of companies (livingsocial.com and groupon.com if you're interested) - today's was for a half price, solo, static-line skydive and since it's something I've always wanted to do I thought I might as well give it a punt. Has anyone done / does anyone do this? I'm looking forward to walking up to the plane so that I can turn to the instructor and say 'I ain't getting in no damn plane, fool!'... :laugh:

An old line: ask him "why should I jump out of a perfectly good working plane?" Marc

Only blanks! Dropped over Salisbury Plain, The Rhineland, Gibraltar and Norfolk. By far and away the most frightening was Norfolk... Fresh Blood for the local gene pool you see, I was in danger of being rounded up and forced to breed with the six-fingered midgets.

A pongo being forced to mate? that is unheard of, at most it implies a mere lack of alcohol

Hey, I have taken a few Grenades* in my time. *For those who don't know, a Grenade is an Fat/Ugly Slapper that one man jumps on in order to save his friends.

My Tank corp friend points out that jumping out of a plane does not change the fact that you are a crunchie

Words of advice. Wear one of these[^]. When I did mine (a three-jump deal), on the first jump my most valuable possessions got caught under the straps that pass between your legs. Didn't see a thing on the way down due to tears in my eyes. Told instructor, he said straps needed to be tighter. Second jump, straps so tight that I was bent double, I waddled to the plane like a duck. Jewels still got trapped, still saw nothing. Third jump, didn't think it possible but straps even tighter, had to get to plane by walking on hands. Still saw nothing on the way down because I didn't jump in spite of being dragged toward the door with my nails screeching down the fuselage like a Tom'n'Jerry cartoon. I was seriously in so much pain by this stage that I wimped out. Don't let me put you off though. :-D Enjoy your day. Just make sure you have all the right gear.
