Has anyone heard of blind people jumping....when....how high etc?

my heart goes out to all those who lost anything.....such a shame. I hope they get the arsonist. Cant believe some people can be so heartless and would jeopardize lives and property. Sorry to all you Californians.

I just checked, and you can E Mail the Pres at [email protected] I think his name may be Bill Clinton and his secretary is Monica

use a 2 pound bag of flour and dont open it too much, a gentle shake during freefall will give a nice trail.

miracles still happen.....I'm glad for him. I hope someone got a photo

I realize what you are referring to, but the compression is so minute, it wouldnt cause near as much discomfort or pain as a snap opening. I have always found, even when having some back pain, that opening feet down stretches your spine out and it becomes an aid to relieving back pain. I have even had a pinched nerve pop out when the vertebrae seem to relax as the spine stretches.....and very thankful for it too. A measure of a compression (fracture) problem is being ejected from a jet aircraft. THAT is when one gets extreme high compression on the spine. A parachutist in a standup opening wouldnt experience 1/1000th of that pressure

I was thinki9ng about your thread last night after I had added to it, and felt bad becuise I left some important factors out, which you should know about. Percodan (oxycodone) is a little less addictive than oxyconten (Rush Limbaugh's candies), however, both can become a problem.You will get a mild "hihh" from percodan, so 1/2 per day is good for pain. Never take it for a "pick-me-up" If you have a kidney problem, it will either be a cold or infection, and both can be treated with anti-biotics. Should clear up in 10 days or so. Extensive use of any tylenol or tylenol based medication can cause damage to your liver....as bad as an alcoholic. As far as jum[ping goes, if you open your chute in a face to earth spread eagle, your bodyy will snap forward fast, and could aggrevate your back problem. I suggest you open in a feet down standing position, which allows your vertebrae not to snap like a whip. Its much easier on the back and wont add to your discomfort. The back problem could alsobe a pinched nerve, which is very painful, usually to th right or left of the spinal column. A nerve sometimes gets pinched between vetebrae and a disk, and the only way you might help to dislodge it is leaning slowly to the side opposite the pain several times...slowly. Dont allow anyone else access to your percodan...they will sell it on the drug market for real money. dont mix these meds with alcohol take care of yourself.....grab a blue sky and enjoy it to the full. all the best.

kidneys give their hurt at the side of the "back". Back pain comes from either a degenerated disk or the spinal area. I have both at times. I take 1/2 a percodan, and in 15-20 minutes the pain is gone. biggest problem is getting a doctor who will give a script for percodan. If you cant get it, try and get one for percocette which has a tylenol base percodan has an aspirin base. taking too many percodan can become a Rush Limbaugh situation, and with the aspirin base, it thins your blood. If you bleed, you'll have a hard time stopping it. Vitamin "E" has the same effect as an anticoagulant. .

I remember when that guy jumped without a parachute. Maybe he should have been suspended...but not for life. I'm just getting interested in jumping again after years of being away. It appears CSPA hasnt changed much since I last leaped I notice big changes in everything else...equipment, jump costs etc etc

A beautful Para Commander....always let me down gently...standup landings.

I dont have many jumps...but I jumped once or twice in a foreign country....the United States

jumping at sunset in the fall....absolutely beautiful
