Kramer 0 #1 October 14, 2003 Would you like to be thrown out of a plane while you're asleep? Say someone put your rig on for you, put you in a plane, and flew up to 13,500 without waking you up at all (farfetched...I know). They proceed to throw you out of the plane, you will wake up once you reach terminal velocity, but you will have no idea how you got up there. Would you like that? (Not necessarily like per se, but would you at least not flip out and shoot the person that did it to you?) -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

AggieDave 6 #2 October 14, 2003 I think I'd get a really good rush and a good laugh out of it if someone did that to me. Although, I'm a VERY heavy sleeper, I'd probably wake up 10 minutes after landing under my reserve from a cypres fire.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

prepheckt 0 #3 October 14, 2003 Sure why not?? That's what a Cypres is for, although, I'm an incedibly light sleeper..you'd have to drug me."Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyIvan 0 #4 October 14, 2003 Dude...I don't like to be bothered when I'm sleeping, if someone did that, after waking up, I'd FLY my way up to the plane and kick his/her ass. (far fetch but I definitely do that)__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lewis321 0 #7 October 14, 2003 I have often thought about this while climbing to alti in our 182. I like to take the student slot whenever I can, and often try to get in a little nap. I wouldn't put it past anyone to just open the door and roll me out. Might be pretty cool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jib 0 #8 October 14, 2003 I think they'd better plan to land off. By the time, they got back and a beer or two, I'd might think it was funny. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

Push 0 #9 October 15, 2003 I heard a story the other day about this. The perpetrators shall remain anonymous. Picture a Cessna. Someone not very well liked is sleeping near the door. The jumpers cajole the pilot to do a zero-g at 11,000' and push the aforementioned someone out the door. He wakes up immediately, in freefall, and pulls. At 11,000'. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

Darius11 12 #11 October 15, 2003 i only have 2 jumps so i think i would die if someone did that but maybe when i have 200 jumps it would be cool. Hey that reminds me is it ok to jump with music i mean like with an MP3 player blasting music in your ears? i would love to do that when i am ready?I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #12 October 15, 2003 I do the MP3 thing every once in a while. Think about how loud it has to be to beable to hear it, even when under a helmet, that's one reason I don't do it very often, its just bad for your ears. Under canopy its good to beable to hear, incase someone is yelling at you, but in my experience, folks are in their own little world audibly when undercanopy, visual communication works better.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

moodyskydiver 0 #13 October 15, 2003 If someone is going to try to wake me up it better not be with skydiving.I have *ahem* "other preferences" in approved ways to wake me up that won't result in projectile objects aimed in their general vicinity.

DeNReN 0 #16 October 15, 2003 Soo....If I was asleep when put on the plane etc....that would mean it was a free jump?......If not I'd be pissed and have to exact some nasty revenge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vertifly 0 #17 October 15, 2003 I'd suggest that they pay my pack-job, pay the slot, and run like hell when I get to the ground. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveNFlorida 0 #18 October 15, 2003 haha. Yeah, that'd be cool. I wonder if I would think I was really awake, tho. If I woke up, and thought I was dreaming, I might do something erradic, like a hp landing that I have no clue how to pull off. ... assuming that wasn't the case, i'm always down for a rush, what better way to wake up. haha. :D Angela.
