I jumped a belly mount reserve with pilot chute back in early 1970's. Cut away from a Mae West, went on my back went i chopped and pulled. It was a low speed opening so was bad at all.Though had so much Adrenaline going at the time might not have noticed a hard opening

Didnt mean to say birth of the children was in 60 seconds, though there is debate between wife and I on time of that great weekend

yesterday was #29. 28 was 28 years ago..YES Im going to keep jumping..next saturday will be levels 234..Sunday 567. It was the best 60 seconds in the last 28 years except for birth of the kids and that one weekend were wife and I...well never mind

Great on getting out in the air! Made my first jump in 28 years yesterday so yes I know about the fear and excitement But .01111 seconds after I stepped out the door it was thrill and excitement.

Made me first jump yesterday after 28 years of delay since my last jump. I have been kicking myself since for waiting so long. I MISSED being in the air. The difference between yesterday and 28 years ago is amazing. Didn't hang off a strut {though that's not a bad thing} but stepping out the door, falling stayed pretty much the same except for wind resistance of a few more pounds, but after opening was different. The square flew where I pointed it { It was a 290 so I wasn't screaming across country} though it seemed like it to me, but it was a LOT better than the 28' round 7TU that I had last jumped, with it aiming in a direction was a mere suggestion to go that way. The BEST thing was being around skydivers again. Thanks to Jack,Woody and Vic at Skydive Atlanta!!! And Thanks to Bob my Jumpmaster 28 years ago.
