max 0 #1 April 19, 2001 I will say that this is definately a First for me, but Ive been told that this is NOT a beer first. During a jump over the weekend, I managed to momentarily attach my leg to a sharp piece of the airplane during exit, causing a large cut, my FIRST visit to the doctor (due to skydiving), and 18 stitches.So, is this something I need to take beer for? I am willing, at least it gives me a chance to have a few with my buds.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #2 April 19, 2001 Shit, I think I'd be getting them to buy me beer as penalty for providing a dangerous plane!Yikes, 16 stitches - how long before you can jump again?Get well soon!Gus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #3 April 19, 2001 Quoteattach my leg to a sharp piece of the airplane during exitWhat plane were you jumping from and what did you cut your leg on? I mean if it (whatever caught your leg) could do that much damage (18 stitches) to your leg, imagine if it was your container that had caught on it...*shudder*/s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #4 April 19, 2001 Quoteat least it gives me a chance to have a few with my buds....Max...I think you are allowed to buy beer anyway for your buds. I am sure that if you showed up with a case of cold ones, they wouldn't mind a whole lot and would probably drink them with you!

froggie 0 #7 April 19, 2001 max,so what happened? did you ride the plane down or jump w/ the cut? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #8 April 19, 2001 looks like by the wording that he went out like that! It says during exit would sounds like he was on his way out. At least you didn't catch and just hang there! Damn...that would be a ROUGH landing...NEW AND IMPROVED!!!http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkySlut 0 #9 April 19, 2001 Have you ever seen someone bleeding in freefall. It is pretty odd. A buddy of mine got a bloody nose...till this day we still arent exactly sure what happened. He didnt get kicked or hit with anything, but the I was across the formation and you could see it splattering all over his goggles & helmet & in the air. It was interesting to say the least.-Slut"I'll jump anything!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max 0 #10 April 19, 2001 It a corner piece of the door frame on a cessna 182. the plastic around it worked loose from the wind and exposed the corner. So when I jumped out me leg caught it and left a 3 inch cut on my left calf. I knew I hit it, but didnt know it was cut until I was under canopy. I landed, bandaged it myself, drove myself to the urgent care, got the stitches, drove back to the DZ, and jumped again that same day. Hell, i even found the corner that got me on the plane, it still had a piece of skin hanging from it...lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
decorous 0 #11 April 19, 2001 You have passed the final test. You are now officialy a sky god. Anyone who will go through all that and still make another load earns my respect. Go forth and teach.As for the beer, it could never hurt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggie 0 #13 April 19, 2001 skyslut,i bled in freefall before. A tiny surface cut, caused by my instructors fingernail. Its not like it gushed blood or anything, afterall it was only a little nick. But as soon as it started to bleed i felt it. It was one of those annoying cuts on the knuckle. the ones that actually hurt. Under canopy it started to trickle down my hand. That was pretty funny. Pull, 5 second count. canopies square, sliders down, steerable. Head for the dz. lick my hand (wasnt wiping my blood on a community jumpsuit!), turn, lick hand, let the canopy fly, lick hand..you get my point. froggie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They'll use any lame excuse to get you to buy beer!! Carol Clay (aka the Queen) is notorious for this.

max 0 #18 April 20, 2001 okay okay....Ill buy it...Actually I was gonna bring some in anyway, Ive gotten to the point now where I know ive done something that warrants beer.

Dirtsucks 0 #19 April 20, 2001 OK, OK, eventually I’ll be subjected to the endless trips to the liquor store, so I want to add something to the original post. So, you owe a case, and you go to the store and buy one, two, or whatever. Then you get back to the DZ, and where does it go? Do you give it to whoever tells you that you owe one or what? Is it just distributed to whoever wants some? What I mean is this – picture me walking back onto the DZ with a case of beer in my hand, who do I give it to? Enquiring (and drunk) minds want to know. This is important, because beer is important. Thank you.Yeah, I know, go to bed - Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggie 0 #21 April 20, 2001 josh,you walk onto the dz w/ a case of beer, ready to do some drinking (after the beer light has come on of course!) and you shouldnt have any problems finding somebody to share your stash with. Hell, at least you wont if im around. Jimbo's still my favorite person for that case of Carona he delivered to my tent last week (thanks sweetie!) so, get the beer, and you just might become some young girls favorite person :) (jimbo rocks!lol)froggie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup got the shirt back at Quincy 98. Goes more like this...Chicks Dig it, bones heal, pain is temperary, glory is forever....SKYDIVE HARD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dirtsucks 0 #25 April 21, 2001 Last year I was at this party and the guy that threw it rented a friggin beer TRAILER. I didn’t know such a thing existed. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. 10 taps with all the free beer I could handle. It was heaven. Although I did pass out on a friends floor and when I woke up I realized I pissed my pants at some point during the night. Damn cheap beer. Anyway, just thought it would be cool to show up at the DZ towing that thing behind my car. Think I’d get some free jumps? I’d definitely need em considering what it must cost. Free beer rules! At least it will when I’m not a student and the free beer isn’t on ME! And Froggie, you get all the beer you want! (I’m going to regret saying that someday )Gonna jump soon, WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!See yah!Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
