jumpwally

1978 at Hinckley - With 25 jumps I thought i would become a photographer,,taped a super 8 movie camera ( duct tape ) to my helmet , i thought i was the shit,,three way spun and tumbled all over ,,lost track of time and dumped the para-commander,,pffuuuff and about 5 seconds later landed in 6 foot tall corn. Took a week to develop film back then,,,saw and threw it out, never wanted to relive that again. Soooo , about five jumps later, I talked a handful of Sorority girls to come out and watch how cool I was,,ha I'm floating in for a landing, plenty of room in the grass next to the parking lot ,right next to the Hottie's taking pictures,,hhmm i'll turn and face them ,right? well,,kicking ,cheering i drifted over a bit and never lost eye contact with them as i plunged right thru the front winshield of THEIR CAR !!! It was the only car in that row....!!! So I'm sitting there with my one boot on top of the winshield pushed onto the front seat and my otherboot jammed in the steering wheel causing the horn to honk non stop,,just as the main drapes over me and the car like a curtain at the end of a show,,,oh well at least it muffled the sound.................I didn't jump again till the following spring,,couldn't face the laughter.....wally smile, be nice, enjoy life FB # - 1083
