  1. So lets get this straight If your unfit your unsafe and if your fit your Safe. Just coz ive got a fuel tank for a sex machine hanging off the front of my body dosent mean im unsafe or out of shape. at work i have no problems humping a 50kg Bergan around the battlefield. There are different forms of fitness, dont judge any1 when u see the size of their beer gut
  2. i was taught on my recent course this procedure. its BPA approved LOOK (for both Cutaway & reserve handles) LOCATE (Both handles, with both hands) PEEL ( The cutaway handle upwards away from the velco attactment) PUNCH (With the cutaway handle in your hand punch downwards) PULL (They reserve, your hand should still be on it) ARCH (into stable position for the reserve canopy to deploy) Dunno if this will help, but its standard practice all British Army BPA affilliate DZ's. the guy who taught me is a vet with over 4000 jumps, so i trust him. Chaos is always found in greatest abundence wherever order is being sought. Chaos will always triumph over order, because chaos is always better organised.
  3. The condition is a Spontaneous Pneumothorax, can be caused by infection or because your tall and skinny. a friend of mine who was a cross country runner used to suffer from them. They usually clear up on their own in 4-6wks depending on how big the area was effected. in trauma cases u require surgical intervention and a chest drain. luckily your not 1 of them. listen to your doctor, and if in any doubt consult an AEROMED specialist. Rest up, stay invovled at the DZ to stop from getting bored and wait. Your jumping days are not over, only postponed
  4. Hi mate, congrats on losing the weight and achieving a significant goal, keep the hard work up and you will reap the benefits i'm in a similar situation i weigh 235lbs and was on the boarderline for my DZ here in Northern Ireland, i jumped for the first time in ten years last tuesday. i wont look back now. This seems to be a great community with beer swilling maniacs at the helm. welcome to the club, good luck in your quest.
