How do I know when my body (chest) can handle a parachute deployment after a major surgery? The doctor said I am able to do all activities and to build up to where I was, but there is no way to build up to a skydive/deployment. I'm only worried because the harness pulls on my shoulder where the surgery was. I had surgery for a major pec rupture (tendon between chest and arm became completely detached) in April2016. I was pronounced free to do all activities in Oct16, however I had no real muscle strength. 2 months after being able to start strengthening I can do about 25 Push ups and 1 pull up. How can I make sure I will not have any issues once I deploy a parachute? Thanks for your input.
