First forget about wing suit jumping...this requires you to be a licensed jumper. I have found that weight limit vary from dz to dz anywhere from 220-275lbs for a tandem. All drop zones require you to be 18 years old but some will waive the age restrictions with a parents signature,but none that I know of. Those over the weight restriction will usually require an extra charge. Where are you located at? A tandem jump is I think doable with the info you provided Bry. -------------------------------------------------- Growing old is mandatory.Growing up is optional!! D.S.#13(Dudeist Skdiver)

Not quite sure how I'd approach the problem. One, I would not jump nowhere near said jumper and may bring it up to the ST&A if they are not already aware. To me IMHO this is an accident ready to happen and hopefully does not take out another jumper Bry -------------------------------------------------- Growing old is mandatory.Growing up is optional!!

My first car was a Chevy Monza Coupe. That little,light car came from the factory with a 305 V-8 and man she would shit n get! Take about tight fits, that V-8 was such a tight fit in the engine compartment that you had to loosen up the motor mounts and jack up the engine to change the spark plugs form the underside. For some reason had a hard time keeping rear tires on that little sucker The other bad thing was it had an all aluminum automatic transmission (Turbo Hydromatic 200) that the motor was hard on.....had to replace it 3 times. (Could have been my driving technique as far as the tires and tranny were involved[;)). The only thing I hated about it was it had a white interior which was impossible to keep clean! Traded her for a Jeep CJ-7 when I turned 18. Loved that car !!!!!! Bry -------------------------------------------------- Growing old is mandatory.Growing up is optional!! D.S.#13(Dudeist Skdiver)

Lonnie make a very good point in you may have to find another doc to go the extra mile to read,watch a video and sometimes, just getting them to listen to you once you mention that word (skydiving) to them. It has been my experience with closed minded,"I'm the doctor" mentality whuffo docs, that no matter what you try to do, just will not listen because they are "the professional" Bry -------------------------------------------------- Growing old is mandatory.Growing up is optional!!

I don't know of any specific articles dealing with those issues directly other then what I have read under this section of the forums I'm thinking you could do a search of this section and that may help you pick out some info as to what people have dealt with in the past. You may find enough info to put together a short narrative of what all landing scenarios students and more importantly, what TI's have experienced. The hard part is going to get the doc to actually read it. Bry -------------------------------------------------- Growing old is mandatory.Growing up is optional!! D.S.#13(Dudeist Skdiver)

Well welcome to the forums Ian

Great job!!

Done!!!

Looked into it...the mesh used in my hernia repair had not had any recalls on them. Supposed to be no problems at all with the mesh used. Still, the unexplained pain persists Bry -------------------------------------------------- Growing old is mandatory.Growing up is optional!! D.S.#13(Dudeist Skdiver)

Hope you're not going to have the same outcome as I did too!!! It's only been 5 days so I wouldn't start to be too concerned,more then likely just the incision healing. I had the same pain for a few weeks post-op. Good Luck!!!! BTW I'm still having my bouts of pain that is NOT associated with healing Bry -------------------------------------------------- Growing old is mandatory.Growing up is optional!!
