PurpleWill 1 #26 June 3, 2004 A friend had a similar but not at all as sever popped vein in one of his eyes after the spin test during his freefall progression. It basically healed with time and it took a while for all the blood to be reabsorbed. Blood vessels in the eye pop easier for some people than for others and can even pop from plain high blood pressure or physical exertion. It’s a good idea to have a doctor check it promptly for serious complications like retinal detachment, which can also result from physical exertion.There is a lot of stuff worth doing but then there is a lot of stuff worth doing instead.

devcloud 0 #29 June 3, 2004 Yeah, this happened to me too... about 6 weeks ago at Perris. Didn't notice till the end of the day and someone said "what the hell's wrong with your eye" Think it could have been when my head slightly connected with the door on exit Took about two weeks to clear up, and i was jumping every day without problems. It went a nice yellowy colour as it was healing, but there was never any pain, just occasionally a bit itchy Biggest hastle is everyone saying... "Oh my god what's wrong with your eye" ...as i'm sure you allready know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ChrisL 2 #30 June 3, 2004 that happened to me in a car accident a number of years ago. The red slowly cleared out over a period of a month or so.__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sabregrl 0 #31 June 3, 2004 Update on my eye today: The blood is slowly oozing (or redistributing) throughout my eye. I'm assuming that by the end of the week, the entire white part (sclera) will be blood red. There is no pain so it hurts everyone else more than me. The eye doctor said that it will get darker red and get worse before it gets better. Thanks for everyone's comments and insights into the problem. I'm glad I'm not the only skydiver who has seen this. In other words, I'm not the only freaky looking person :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Keith 0 #32 June 3, 2004 I still think you should tell people you got in a drunken bar room brawl Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J.
