Apparently, I Have Really Big Cojones

[JENNR8R 0]

The furnace guy was here this morning doing my Spring checkup. We started discussing the pictures of me skydiving that were on the wall. He said that he was afraid to get into an airplane, and if there were 1,000 people standing here only one or two would skydive...

Do you think that is true?

Maybe that's why I haven't been a successful skydiving evangelist.

295,734,134 people in the US

~35,000 registered USPA members.

1:8449.55

So essentially at least .000118349~% skydive in the US

But obviously more than that would skydive.

I think 1 in 100 people would do it and only 1 in 100 of those would do it again and only 1 in 100 of those will become a winged suit flying hot mama.

But you always were one in a million.

I'll second that!
But the statistic about 35,000, bla bla bla.... that's just registered with USPA, which means they most likely have their A license - 25 jumps. Think about all the one time jumpers that are out there that don't get passed the first jump. Thousands every weekend probabaly across the US. I think it would be closer to 1 in 35 standing in a group would skydive.

Did you know that this would have been Grandma's 84th birthday?

Yeah, it's true... I get a lot of people who say HELL YEAH I'd do that, that never show up. I must hand out 5 or 6 business cards a week for the dz. But I think it would be different if they were standing at the dz, with the opportunity in front of them, and it was free.

We're people who risk it all for nothing. Most people, I think, view that as a bad thing. Personally, I think it's pretty cool.

You,ve just got what it takes Jen. You are also a very nice lady. I was a pleasure to meet and jump with you in Z-hills. Did you tell the furnace guy you were on a 40-way wingsuit flock?

Thanks Chuck!

Nah!... It wouldn't have meant anything to him. But I did show him the picture that Scary Perry took of my first wingsuit jump that made it into Parachutist... He was duly impressed.

You must be very proud. I hope someday to be as mature.
