polarglitch 0 #1 August 22, 2005 Hey all! I just did my First AFF jump in Tanjung Pinang over the weekend with my buddies. Had a hard landing on my ass across the runway but i'm still keen on my license and more. P.s... .anyone knows how to get rid of tailbone pains real quick? It hurts whenever i put weight on it.When you come close to losing your life, you learn to value it. I jumped, I survived, I learnt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorangemd 0 #2 August 22, 2005 Busted mine (Coccyx Fracture) on my 2nd AFF jump in March. It still hurts if I sit wrong. No quick fix, but I jumped the next day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It hurts whenever i put weight on it. About three weekends ago, on Sunday, I flared too high and didn't PLF and landed on my ass pretty hard. I could still walk and function, but it hurt. The only thing that fixed it was time - by Wednesday (three days later) it was better. I have since taken more interest in being prepared to PLF, but my concurrent increased interest in flaring at the right time has kept me from having to practice that so far. :) EulePLF does not stand for Please Land on Face.
