how long were you jumping before your first reserve ride?

Recommended Posts

Jump #41, 6 months.

So I pose a ?- there are a lot of jumpers who had a mal with 50 or less jump, or while they were on student status, but statistically, don't people normally say that a skydiver will have a mal approx. 1:1000 jumps? Why are there so many student malfunctions? Poor packing, something the student is doing, etc.

to be honest. I'm scared shitless! I'm waiting for something to happen. Every jump, I still go through procedures. Especially with all the crap on my head!



Wonder if other 'yet-to-experience-a-cutaway' skydivers feel this way as well. Especially those with over 1,000 jumps to their name.

Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I met an old guy in Marana about '83 that said he used his reserve on his first 5 jumps...he would count to 5 so fast! :D
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
