5-year-old skydiver

Recommended Posts

All three of my kids like to "skydive." My oldest son took his backpack, tied a couple of rings to it to act as leg straps and announced that he had made a rig and was going skydiving. I was impressed that he thought of the leg straps himself, grabbed the camera and here's what I caught...

Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but it appears to me as if your son may be more of a BASE jumper, than skydiver.
I mean he's already jumping fixed objects, and the lazy arch on exit really gave it away.

Uh, yeah. He and my 8-year-old daughter have both done that. Fortunately I was there to act as an accuracy pad.

My wife shudders at the BASE aspect they're already practicing. She liked her tandem jump and wants to go again, though, so that's a plus.

Blue skies and happy landings!

Yeah, the boxman position after exit is a bit worrying - he'll impact the talus of the sofa if he's not careful!:P
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
