I believe only the rich companies can really do that! Only the companies who want to spend alot of money for that will be able to do it. I don't know, but to me most of them just don't care. As I grow older and meet many people including cops, lawyers, doctors, and anyone you really would never think would ever do drugs.......do them! All I can say is, everything in moderation! because it sure is fun......... ----------------- I love and Miss you so much Honey! Orfun #3 ~ Darla

I really never blamed anyone. I was telling my story and the lesson I learned. When we came down from the jump, we all talked about it. And everyone on the jump was looking out for the low man. I just happened to be the one above him. Nobody was mad, we just learned from this incident. I was just posting a reminder about wave offs and being aware of your surroundings and how important that is. I don't believe that anyone is to blame. ----------------- I love and Miss you so much Honey! Orfun #3 ~ Darla

This past weekend on my last jump of the day, I was doing a 4-way. One of the other jumpers is alot bigger than us and ended up going low on us. Normally we would try and swoop down to him but the jump was almost over anyway, so we just decided to have a nice little spin before track off. As I was tracking off I thought to myself look around for the other guy that went low before you pull. Right at that time I looked directly below me and saw him about 100-200ft (not real sure) below me waving off! I imediately did a 90 degree turn and tracked as fast as I could watching him the whole time. I saw that he was deploying and I was far enough away from him, so I deployed. As I was deploying, I could see him shoot up super fast about 50 ft away from me. That was quite a scare. I am so glad I looked for him because I probably wouldn't be here right now. And neither would he. That was quite a bit of an extra adrenaline rush, not one that I really want though. I guess the lesson here is to make sure you give a big wave off and look around before doing so. Also always be aware of the other jumpers that are with you. Alot of people tell me that never even wave off anymore, that is a bad habit, please think of this next time you decide not to wave off. Also Be aware of your surroundings! ----------------- I love and Miss you so much Honey! Orfun #3 ~ Darla

It is because most of them have never been hurt or they have never seen someone get hurt or worse die. They have never had a lesson to learn yet or a major scare that would set them straight. Most of the more experienced jumpers that I have jumped with have a story or two to tell me about their past stupidness or seeing someone elses stupidness. I pray that I never get that way, I hope someone slaps me before I get like that. ----------------- I love and Miss you so much Honey! Orfun #3 ~ Darla
