Back in my boy scout days I racked up 63 jumps, 8 of which were behind enemy lines, and 6 of those were water landings with only 1 self inflating Zodiac. Then there are a few others that I still can't talk about.

Ever have to cut yourself out of your parachute in rough seas? It's no fucking picnic. But anytime I get to play with glow Sticks at 40,000 feet, it's my happy place.

Troop 247 were such assholes. They deserved to be killed in their sleep then disposed of in the ensuing forest fire.

Yes. Sky dived back in 2001 from 5000 feet. Pull cord was tethered to the plane. It was awesome.

Skydived, don't remember the elevation but the freefall was about little less than 2 min

That's why you pay the pilot an extra 100 bucks and tell him to go to maximum elevation. Then when he says your there, you make him take higher until the engine is sputtering. Not much better motivation to jump from a plane when it's on the verge of stalling, or your scout leader just pushes you out of the back of your troops c130.

Then if you know what you're doing with your parabolic chute you can cover 30-40 miles from the jump zone.

I made a homemade parachute with a bamboo frame and jumped off my nan's garage. Fortunately it kinda worked cos I slipped and landed on my arse from about 12 feet.

I have wanted to do it for years but my fear of heights keeps me from doing it. I could skydive for 125 dollars with a groupon. the plane is supposed to go to 14,000 feet high.

325 dollars. 100 extra to the pilot as aforementioned. The other hundred goes to the instructor who has to mercilessly push you out of the plane tumbling towards potential death.

I'm scared of heights too lol. Only reason that I did it is because of a bunch of buddies were going & gave me a ton of shit. I was fine until they opened the plane door & then shit got very real. The noise from the wind was enough to make you want to shit down both legs. Then actually moving over there to the door and seeing how high we were :flushed: There was a little platform beside the plane that we had to step out onto...then we grab a hold of the wing strut and swung out to where we were hanging beside the plane. Countdown...3...2...1. Drop. I was scared shitless until the shoot opened and the adrenaline slowed down. Then it was unbelievably cool and peaceful.

I dont like being 15 feet up on a ladder, but I would skydive again for sure.

I did it a few times when I was a young buck. I got it out of my system. It was fun though.
