AggieDave 6 #27 September 6, 2004 Blew my knee up dragging a tow on a swoop a couple of years ago. Of course back then my "swoops" were only about 50ft long and kinda slow...I was dragging my toe the wrong way and when I hit a largish bump, it pushed my knee 45degs sideways. Tore the MCL and ACL.

Kris 0 #29 September 6, 2004 Righteously sprained my ankle reaching for a landing on jump #51. Wrenched my right knee and hip last Sept during a hard opening that shredded my Stiletto. I wasn't walking right until the end of November.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #30 September 7, 2004 Yup. 700ish jumps, and so far nothing worse than a mild sprain. That's not to say I've never been hurt on a dropzone, but that story is an answer to a different question. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

dubbayab 0 #31 September 7, 2004 10 years, 600 jumps never injured skydiving. However, there was this rainy day we decided to tow a round behind a truck with a harness and a 75' roap. the bitch acted kinda like a kneeboard, as long as you were behind the truck/boat/ over the road it was fine, but when you cut out to the side it got a little hairy, sprained an ankel on that one.

PhreeZone 15 #36 September 7, 2004 Jan 01 - Sprained and partial fracture on right ankle August 03 - spinal compression that left me unable to stand up straight for 4 weeks. Currently - Sholders that hurt horribly after jumping due to injured rotator cuffs.

adrenalinejunki 0 #37 September 7, 2004 I got hurt pretty bad when I was a student doing a drunken BASE jump from the back door of our pilots house. I thought it was the front door where there was a deck. I had to yak and was wrong about which door it was. Hyper extended my right knee. So far the only injuries I have had skydiving were at the parties after jumping all day. __________________________________________________What's the worst that can happen?

Airman1270 0 #42 September 7, 2004 QuoteAlmost never - broke my ankle on my first jump (brainlocked on the PLF), sat there thinking "WOW, that was so cool!!!!"... No serious injuries since, thanks to a number of well-timed PLF's. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A comment from the doctor was noteworthy. This was the same guy who had treated me for another broken ankle several years earlier which occurred while playing baseball (outfield collision.) He told me I shouldn't be skydiving. I asked why he didn't tell me to give up baseball... Jon S.

Lot's of bruses, freefall bumps, otter bites on exit, the odd biffed landing, more than a few harness bruses due to hard or brisk openings, and a few other identified causes. Actually, i counted 4 seperate bruses form my 11 jumps this weekend. i can only identify how I got 2 of them. "We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him.
