Wow, thanks for all of the replies, everybody. I was following the thread and there were over 1,000 views within the first 24 hours. This is a very active place. Here's a little more on how we learned that there had been a problem with my wife's jump. The instructor was wearing some type of data recording device that records the maximum speed achieved during the jump. I think he had to plug it into a computer when they got back to the hanger to d/l the data. I don't remember the exact number but I think it was in the 150-something mph range. He said he thought they were going faster, closer to 170. It was then when we heard him talking back and forth with the ground crew about the speed. Anyway, I told my wife about the thread and I gave her a brief summary of what most of you said. She appreciated the comments but she says she is done with skydiving. It is not even open for further discussion with her on ever going again. I guess it was something on her bucket list. She went twice, which is two more times than I'll ever go. We're climbing Devil's Tower in 2016, so we do still like to do a few exciting things. The climb is one of the things on my bucket list. Thanks again, everyone.
