We tend to be more susceptible to this kind of problem than the more experienced jumpers because our bodies have not yet adjusted to quick altitude changes. QuoteNo..not true!

I was going to go jump at a 2-way camp today at Elsinore, but I decided to ground myself for the day or (if I still do not feel good) until next weekend because I have been sick on anti-biotics AND my knee/leg is a little funky. I am really sad, but I also feel relieved that I didn't go today because if I get worse... I may go tomorrow to fun jump a couple of times, but ONLY if I feel that I will not be hurting myself in any way. P.S. I like Wendy's vibes. I want some of those! Also, Chris, I have seen a very experienced skydiver jump with a teeny-tiny sinus problem and have to ground himself for weeks. It is quite serious.
