stuntedflyer 0 #1 November 18, 2007 Hi, Due to injuries sustained after having a canopy collapse (due to dust devil), and the resulting surgery/procedures not giving successful healing, I am contemplating an amputation of my lower left leg. I know various advice, comments and guidance have been given elsewhere in this forum, on similar, but I'm asking for tips/advice/suggestions etc here. There's one other guy who is actually a fulltime skydiver here in Oz, who has the same amputation that I talk to and gain advice etc from. He has over 10,000 jumps does Tandems and the lot, and is a great source of info. I'm just looking for others perspectives as well. I'd like to return to not only being a sport jumper, but doing AFF and Tandems again as well. All thoughtful advice welcome.... Cheers, Corey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mx757 4 #2 November 18, 2007 I think your talking of "Worm" the other amputee tandem master / skydiver. it's up to you to have the amputation. sounds like leg isn't healing... no reason why you can't skydive after a leg amuptation... lot of the Pieces of Eight amputee skydivers are leg amputees.

stuntedflyer 0 #3 November 19, 2007 Yep, I was referring to Worm. I'm kind of looking for "tips and techniques", things to watch out for if and when I get the amputation, as far as getting back in the sky goes. Cheers, Corey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
