gonna go skydiving towards the end of the summer some time always wanted to try it ive got about 5 people around my area interested figured if we could get a big group together a: it would be fun and b:might be able to get cheaper rates the normal rate around this area with lessons and first jump seems to be around 250 to 350
guys, gals if anyone is interested and if someone is but just doesnt want the added expence of a motel for the weekend i have a spare bedroom and couch and detached air conditioned garage that could set cots up in
just trying to figure out whos interested and then start working out a date that works for everyone than ill get the rest of it set up

Done it already and LOVED it. I dont think I can do it again until my kiddo is grown up. Jumping out of a plane when I'm her sole provider just does not seem like a good idea.

Have a blast and enjoy the fall flowerforyou

I have never done it before and would like to, but I am with ledi, I have a kido to take care of... I can't really put myself into that type of risk.

You can't get me to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

It's alot safer then bungee jumping.
You can do a tandem jump after an hour and half of training or a static drop where you don't have to pull your own chute.

It's a great rush:thumbsup:

That's what my mom said to me last year when I wanted to do it. So, I didn't. I'd really like to try it though.

laugh Yeah, I have health insurance.

Seriously though, just how dangerous is it? I mean, how often does anyone really get hurt skydiving? My guess is that it's not that often.

I'll be 53 in 12 years. Too late. It's probably soon or never for me.

Really it's safe more and more people are taking jump lessons, and more are getting their D license

Well, maybe I'll have to do it for my birthday this year like I wanted to last year. Except this year I won't tell my mom or anyone that I'm going.
