  1. Guys, I am really glad that I feel I am not the only one who is addicted to this sport despite having about 2*0.5 meter metalwork around my spine!! I used to be a skydiver. I had an accident on my last jump (10 years ago) and injured my spine. It was a miracle that I am not paralysed! My L2 partially broken and L3 squeezed as much it could. As the result the surgeon had to put some sort of metalwork around L3. Basically that metalwork which looks like two back-to-back psi Greek letters bypasses any pressure from L3. The surgeon mentioned this metalwork should stay there forever, but I could remember while I was in Hospital I asked him when I can jump again and he responded “…. after 5,6 years you should be OK…..” Apart form limited movement I have absolutely no problem. To tell the truth time by time I have some back pain but I am sure even a normal guy have same sort of problem. I moved to UK six years ago and since that time, every now and then I try to join a club and jump at least once again in my lifetime but because of my medical condition they refuse to accept me. They (clubs) say “….you can have a bad landing which makes your life much harder…. ” which is a fair point. Now here is the question to you. Taking my medical condition to account do you think that I can jump again? At least once? I have been told if I land on water (e.g. a lake or something) that could help to reduce the risk. If this is true can you suggest a club (preferably in UK) with this sort of functionality? I really want to jump again so please help me ! Any help and suggestion would be much appreciated in advance Regards Amir
