I told her I hadn't tested the theory since the DZO does not allow food on the plane. carol sternberg of the ranch ate spaghetti during her 10,000th jump. it is possible, just messy.Mistakes-It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

JohnMitchell 14 #87 February 5, 2007 Had a coworker comment that he felt bad for my kids. I asked why. He said that they were growing up thinking skydiving was normal. I said "Okay." I said that I felt sorry for his kids. He was puzzled and asked why. I said that they were growing up thinking fishing was exciting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PWScottIV 0 #98 February 6, 2007 Ok, well I've heard a few of the normal ones, but theres one in particular that I CAN 100% GUARANTEE NO SKYDIVER HAS EVER HEARD BEFORE. Ok, so I was explaining to my mom all of the different positions you can fly in (Belly, Sit, Head-down, tracking, etc.). I told her that when I was jumping on a particularly cold day, I got to about 200mph in a stand. I explained to her that the cold air shooting up my nose felt a bit like snarfing soda out my nose... Eventually the conversation ended. Ok, so then she calls me back a couple of hours later (almost midnignt) and she has this sound in her voice that makes me think someone died... I was totally bracing myself to hear something terrible... She said, I've been up thinking about this for a long time and I'm really worried you're going to get hurt... (I'm sure nobody here has had THAT conversation with their loved ones before...) Ok, but you're never gonna guess WHAT she was worried about... She said, "I'm just really worried that you're going to freeze the inside of your nose. You know that can be very dangerous, don't you? You might never be able to smell again". I did my best to not laugh, because I know she was really worried, but honestly I couldn't stop myself... LOL here I am flying towards the ground at nearly 200mph and she's worried about me freezing the inside of my nose.Gravity Waits for No One.

And yes, this is really lame, and yes, I'm the smartass who asked. I had realized about the reserve and all, but I couldn't quite figure out what you would do if your main opened in a mess. The question? "Do you carry a knife to cut all the lines on your main before you pull the reserve??" Now, does anyone have a suggestion for a nice reply to "Hhahah what do you need a helmet for LOLOL do you really think it'll help if your chute doesn't open?" ?
