I thought maybe Mt Doom had spit the ring back out... and it landed there. You could always lead a Fellowship back to Mordor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 38 #7 September 7, 2011 What is it with skydivers losing their wedding rings? I found one at Perris 30 yrs ago. I turned it in to manifest and forgot all about it. About a year later, I was paged, went up to manifest, and Lou told me no one ever claimed it and handed it over to me. I wear it on my thumb. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcsvader 1 #8 September 7, 2011 I was jumping at a dz in ontario last summer when a tandem student lost their $1000 gold necklace that they were warned against wearing for the jump. Sure enough, it came off during the jump. Dude spent all weekend loooking for it, even went out and bought a metal detector. LZ was surrounded by corn fields... He gave up looking. Few days later one of the staff members there was out walkng his dog in the morning, after the dog did it buisness and he was picking it up he noticed something shiny in the grass.... sure enough, he found the lost gold. I am also pretty sure that someones engagement ring is still out in the LZ at ESC... probly buried now due to the landscaping.Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never had any issues with it before that jump, but I forgot to take off a ring and didn't realize it til we were in the plane. Stuck it on the necklace, and lost it all. That was a sad day, but I certainly learned my lesson. Glad the girl found her necklace. Hope this guy/gal come looking for his/her ring! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,396 #14 September 7, 2011 >What is it with skydivers losing their wedding rings? They're somewhat dangerous to jump with, so people take em off, and when you do that you are more likely to lose them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiver30960 0 #19 September 8, 2011 Quote Working ten years in heavy manufacturing I saw very few people wearing rings, watches, or any kind of jewelry (stud earring only, if any). Every hear of a ring avulsion? Its nasty. MILES OFF TOPIC, but: right before I got hitched, I was contemplating wearing my wedding ring "normally." Skydiving, firefighting, rescue squad: all of them had high hazards for just what you describe, but I thought "nah, it'd never happen to me." Then, just a few weeks before my wedding day, a guy on a fire engine in the same district as my rescue squad was getting down from the engine on an EMS call (the most mundane, boring kind of call most firefighters could ever imagine) and his ring got caught on the hook onto which he was hanging his radio headset. His (considerable) weight was already bounding down from the fire engine, and he couldn't stop himself in time. He lost is left ring finger as a result. Hearing that so close to my wedding day snapped me back to reality. My wedding ring (other than my wedding day and the honeymoon) has resided on a loop around my neck.

danornan 64 #22 September 8, 2011 At a small DZ in north Florida, my wife lost a diamond engagement ring on a Saturday. We looked all around, couldn't find it and them planned on renting a metal detector to bring back on Monday. Late that Sunday we got a call from the DZ that someone had found it by accident, just wandering around! For the record, I've never worn a wedding ring, I find rings uncomfortable, have been with the same woman since 1976, and don't pretend to not be married. My wife won't allow it!Dano Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
