Skydiving

I am sure you have heard about the guy that did a tandem jump from an airplane at 14000 feet with the tandem instructor that died from a heart attack after he opened the main. Yikes! Add this to a long list of reasons not to jump from a plane!! The kid wasn't giving up and calling it a hopeless situation though. His brain went into save mode and he steered the canopy away from a house and tree. I am sure that landing was a butt kicker though. Amazing what we can do when we have to.

I have made about 100 skydives and some of those jumps were with my father which has created such a meaningful and wonderful experience in my life... even bringing me closer to my dad and hearing him tell me that he is proud of me while hugging me... something I never thought would happen!

SKYDIVE is so awesome and I really hope everyone tries this experience. My best moment in skydiving would be when I did an exit from a cessna and went out alone and I was able to hold a sit position while falling 120 mph!

I wore my closing pin necklace today in honor of my fellow fallen skydiver. May he rest in peace and blue skies my friend
