piisfish 135 #2 September 16, 2004 my ego is bruised, and some articulations hurt a little, but I can still jump. Maybe have a total of 10 non standing jumps, and 3 of them were this monday.

ScubaSteve 0 #8 September 16, 2004 Still out due to hard opening. Ruptured left hamstring and three lateral abductors. Also wiplash in thoracic spine. Ill be back probably next spring. I still, evenwith physical therapy, have a softball sized lump on left upper/innside thigh and back very stiff and sore. I am getting better. mobility PT on back and lots of leg work. The muscles are getting strong again and lump going down. I want to be 110% before coming back. Are these injuries common for hard openings? I am a newb and courious.

Plummets 0 #15 September 16, 2004 Am out for another month after ankle injury at Kolomna, Russia. It happened after jumping while keeping up with the locals on vodka , whatever we were playing I think I must have lost "Life is a bowl of deadly nightshade, stay way way out on the rim brother" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACMESkydiver 0 #18 September 16, 2004 Yup. 'cuz I'm a "short bacon-head", as my 8 y.o. daughter would say... This injury is now appearing worse than the other two times I did it, and it looks like I might be out until 2005. Right when I get laid off an' have plenty o' time to jump, and money on my account at the DZ! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

CanuckInUSA 0 #19 September 16, 2004 I'm coming off of an injury. I started jumping four weekends ago after a one month layoff and believe it or not I went BASE jump before I went skydiving because my BASE canopy is more than twice the size of my skydiving canopy and I know I can get softer landings with it (plus I was jumping the legal span in ID during the day with it's somewhat more forgiving LZ rather than a LZ full of nasty stuff). Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynxie 0 #20 September 16, 2004 shit happens. but three times!! that must be frustrating. but we can look forward to the spring when we have saved a lot of money for skydiving! -- "If you can dream it, you can DO IT!" -- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheenster303 0 #21 September 17, 2004 I broke my tibia and fibula right at my ankle and messed up a whole bunch of nerves in my foot. That happened on August 1st and I'm still in a hard cast until at least Sept 23rd. I got a plate and several screws holding my leg together. I don't when I'll be back to skydiving. I made a promise to myself to pay off my medical bills before I start jumping again. Insurance paid most of it, but there's still a little left over I gotta deal with. I'm projecting that it's probably going to be after spring semester ends next year, which is in May. Oh and I forgot to say how I broke it. Seriously, I had my best landing ever. I'm guessing I just stepped out wrong. I stood up and everything. Didn't know what I did until I looked down and saw my right foot was turned in a way it shouldn't have been. So I guess that's what I get for finally doing a landing correctly huh?I'm so funny I crack my head open! P.M.S. #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zee 0 #24 September 17, 2004 Quotebroke my back, leg and arm. back to skydiving in 6 months! I just spent seven months and 8 days on the ground due to a shattered tib/fib.
