Your second to last paragraph is pretty spot on. I wondered about the forces on the body and brain during free fall and canopy opening. And no you are correct there's a lot I need to learn on the matter. I'm a HUGE fan of the make-you-stupid juice... Hell I'm a pilot after all I appreciate all the repsonses!

Hey guys I'm new to the sport, I'm a professional pilot and scuba diver looking to get into the skydiving realm. I graduated with a biology degree with an emphasis in neurobiology. I was wondering if there were any deleterious effects of skydiving on the human brain, affecting cognitive performance etc? Any physicians or neuroscientist (or anybody) jump junkies on the forums that could shed some light on the subject.
