Wounded Veteran/Triple Amp tandem

[Creep0321 0]

This is a Recon brother, Cpl. Todd Love of 1st Reconnaissance Bn. He lost both legs and an arm to an IED in Afghanistan. This is a video of him with team X-treme who raises money for wounded warriors. In this video you will see him scuba diving, surfing, and scuba diving. Hes done more tandems and is working on figuring out a way to do AFF. He has also been on the show gator boys, wrestling an aligator, and drove in a demolition derby. Now that is determination.

Gawain here on DZ was doing demos with a prosthetic leg. I bet he would have some insight on it. Of course it's different for a 2 leg, but it might be useful info.

Don't see why he couldn't do AFF if he can make a tandem. Some tunnel time to figure out his balance in the air and a bucket harness, with some padding built in for landing, he should be good to go. He's a recon Marine, there's nothing he can't handle.

U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler.

Al Hodgson in the UK could also be of help - he lost both legs in Northern Ireland and is now one of the top freefly competitors / organisers / coaches in the UK. Not sure about his contact details but should be easy enough to track down through www.bpa.org.uk.

Some info on him here (or just stick his name into Google):
