packerboy 3 #1 February 24, 2005 I just got second hand info that a buddy of mine hurt himself real bad at a Florida dropzone. Since I know nothing I decided to keep it away from the incidents forum. He is a Canadian jumper working on a contract down south. I just want to know how he is. His name is Eric Chappel (sp?). Anyone with info please PM me. -------------------------------------------------- In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~ Thomas Jefferson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivegirl 0 #2 February 24, 2005 Is Eric working on a contract in Orlando? Something that has to do with scaffolding? I dont know anything about this accident but I'm scared I may know the Eric you're talking about. Pink Mafia Sis #26 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

packerboy 3 #4 February 26, 2005 That's what I am trying to find out. I heard some third hand stuff, but I would like to get in contact with him if possible. I was hoping he would be back this summer... -------------------------------------------------- In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~ Thomas Jefferson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEric 0 #5 April 7, 2005 Hey!! I know this guy!! I'm sure reports of this got greatly exaggerated by the time they got back home. (maybe because of the ambulance they called when I tried to stand up and couldn't) I tried to punish the ground just for being there - but I think that it won. Landed hard on my right hip and shoulder, sprained my back, left wrist, and right shoulder, lost some skin on my ass, and walked real funny for a while. Nothing broken, just twisted and torn. Didn't have to miss any work, but got a 6 week holiday from jumping. Tried jumping after 1 month, but it still hurt more than it was fun. (So I only did 3) I'm almost all better now, just my right shoulder is slowing me down now. Did 8 jumps last sunday, and went to Titusville on Wed after work to try and make up for lost time, but they only put up one load At least the weather looks good for the weekend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
