Skydiving Quotes

Recommended Posts

While drinking beer and bitching about the winds, clouds, etc -
"Better to be on the ground wishing that you were in the air than to be in the air wishing you were on the ground."
So true.
The brave may not live forever, but the timid never live at all.

All the time in our airborne jumps , "What'sa matter. You want to live forever?"

Tandem stuff: When you jump out ot the plane, there's a planet aimed right at you. So unless you think you can miss it, you gotta pull the ripcord when I tell you.

When we are at 12,000 feet, and the door is open, what's the worst thing that could happen to us? Fall out of the door. What's the best thing that could happen to us? Fall out the door. Well, when the worst thing that could happen is the same as the best thing - it's a perfect world!

I feel the need! The need for speed!

From the movie Navy SEALS just prior to tailgating a C-130.

Whoever: Y'all be safe out there.

Charlie Sheen (who else?): If I wanted to be safe, I would've joined the Coast Guard.
Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I have two quotes:

(1) Solo skydiving is just like MASTURBATING. Sure it's fun but eventually you will want someone else there with you.

(2) ...... good for a T-shirt, bad for telling those in the first jump course



or "...there's no success like failure, and failure's no success at all" ...especially if you jump out of airplanes.

to a tandem after a successful landing... "NO! sounds just like GO! when we are sitting in the open door"

Tandem Student: "Is there anything we can do if the reserve doesn't open?"
Instructor: "Yeah, we find the rigger's car and aim for it!"



But one of my favorite quotes (can be skydiving related): "I will not tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death."

A local instructor:
"If the wind sock has a hard on... somebody's gonna get fucked."

A rule posted at a boogie:
"Deploy at least one parachute before impact."

Instructor to me, when I got signed off for the A license:
"You now have a license to kill... yourself."
