Done it once. I'd like to do it again. And you're right. 10,000 down at 120mph... WHAT A RUSH!

I am planning on skydiving as soon as I'm old enough. I think the place said you must be 18 or older to jump. It seems like alot of fun and I can't wait till I can do it!

I went indoor skydiving does that count? More like floating over a huge airplane propeller but still a rush. i did this in Pigeon Forge, TN.

My friend gave me a jump for my b-day. I did a tandem. This is when you jump with someone. You leave the plane at about 13,500 FT. If you do it have them videotape you. Let me tell you waht a rush! I'm going to do it again.

Does it count when a large man with a black hat says to get off his airplane, before he kicks your butt and throws you out..........5 seperate times?

I want to go SO bad, just don't have the money yet. The skydiveing place near me set the world record for largest aerial formation. I see the skydivers all the time, one of them landed on the roof of the movie theatre I worked at. He yelled down to the people in the parking lot to have us open the roof hatch so he could get down. LOL

[luke]

It must be the old record, because the world record for the largest formation was set in Eloy, Az. about 2 weeks ago, it was a 300 way.

The large formations are incredible to watch if you ever get the chance.

Oh ok, yes they supposedly set this record last year. It was on thier flyers they hand out. The name of the place is Cross Keys Skydiveing I think.

I went at a place in NJ called SkyDive NJ Shore.

Hey Army,
I'll bet that you used one of those nasty round chutes, man those things drop you down like a ton of bricks. If you ever get the chance use a ram air chute you can control them better and if you don't screw up your flare they set you down so easily.

Helluva rush though. Gonna try a night dive soon.

My dad always tells me... "Only two things fall from the sky. Bird (poop) and Fools."

That being said, I think skydiving would be pretty fun. I had a chance to over the summer, but I couldn't make it. I guess it ended up being better though, I would have gone with two people from work... they were in a "semi" relationship... but as the summer progressed it got deeper. Cut to 3 months later and she broke up with him... next day he was fired at his job... 5 days later, he goes beserk. He took the girl and her family hostage for 10 hours. He let them all go, but killed himself in her house! I only knew him from work, but he seemed like a level-headed guy, and this caught us all by suprise. Needless to say, I'm kind of glad I didn't get to know him more...

Now I'm not sure how this all fits in a Skydiving thread, but, meh!
