I know I'm not tough compared to lots of other people, particularly military people. But 15 hours, and probably over 100 base jumps in that time, with one broken arm?

Sure, he probably didn’t raise the $100,000 he wanted for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, but he still raised quite a bit — $30,000 at the least — and got the foundation’s name in the news by jumping 201 times in 21 hours on July 7 and 8. And that’s good enough. “That might have been a bit lofty,” he said of his original goal. “I don’t think we’ll ever get a total. A lot of things floated into the Web site.” The money from the stunt, in which Schilling was hauled up by a crane perched on the bridge after each jump, will pay college tuition for the children of Special Forces members killed in action or in training. Along with the money, the jumps set a world record that Schilling is now trying to verify with Guinness World Records Ltd. At the moment, he’s pulling his records together to send to the company. “Before I send off all the witness statements and logbook, I want to make sure they don’t need something else,” he said. The quest for the record helped him get the foundation’s name out, but he said he still didn’t get the national press he was looking for. This despite appearing on eight or 10 radio shows, in an Associated Press article and on CNN and ESPN. “I was on a Fox show during the daytime,” he said. “That worked out OK, but it’s middle-of-the-day news.” He’s recovered from his injuries, including a hairline fracture in his wrist and various lacerations, and will go on a HALO (high altitude, low opening) jump in a week. But he doesn’t plan to ever jump 201 times again. “It was well worth it,” he said. “I won’t ever do it again, but I’m glad I did.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Prev 1 2 Next Page 2 of 2 0 Go To Topic Listing
