KevinMcGuire 0 #51 August 2, 2005 I guess I'm with Tom on the definition of injury. No doubt I've had my bumps and bruises but I've never sustained an injury that couldn't be treated with Motrin and a bottle of rum. My legs are awash with road rash scars from less than graceful landings. Fact is that I'm a big fucker and gravity has a firm grip on my ass. It simply takes more energy for me to stop than it does for others. However, I never broke a bone while searching for ground rush. I guess my luck bucket was over flowing when I began this sport and I just opted to retire before it ran out. Maybe I'll go buy a lottery ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RhondaLea 3 #53 August 4, 2005 Quote...definition of injury. Pre-skydiving , I thought that anything requiring stitches constituted injury, and a broken bone seemed like a really big deal. Over the years, my point of view has been forcibly refined to include only death, brain damage or paralysis, (albeit with a nod to permanently twisted, or otherwise malfunctioning limbs). Short of that, it's just a boo-boo, no matter how many scars you have or whether you set off the metal detectors wherever you go. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.
