tdog 0 #1 August 24, 2005 I came home tonight and saw on the news a skydiving story from my home DZ on the news... I was worried something went wrong... But no, it is very positive. A blind person does a tandem... The link to the 9news.com website with the video you can watch is at: http://www.9news.com/acm_news.aspx?OSGNAME=KUSA&IKOBJECTID=e5bf5b20-0abe-421a-0132-929cb4caff5b&TEMPLATEID=0c76dce6-ac1f-02d8-0047-c589c01ca7bf Made my day. I wish he would have come over the weekend so I could have seen it in person (and he would have enjoyed the turbines that run on busier days) T.

grue 1 #4 August 24, 2005 Is it bad that my first thought was "What's the point? Tunnel time is gonna give the same effect if you can't see the ground" ? Fortunately, my second thought was that if you wanna do ssomething, you might as well do it.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometime when you know you can do it with staying altitude aware, try doing some skydiving with your eyes shut... Maybe a 10 second burtst. Weird feeling. Lots of fun...
