I saw a video on youtube where a guy got hungup on a cessna, the instructor was off course shouting, do not pull reserve, of course the guy did pull, without unhooking the rsl, and his reserve just missed the planes tail!

I am not an instructor etc, but, i am 18.5 stones, so like you I fall fast and land a bit faster to. PLF learn it well, but you will probably have a radio link to tell you when to flare by the instructor so should have a good landing. I still find it hard to judge my flare height now and get a mix of soft landings and hard landings!

I skydive as a personal test as to my Bravery and Courage. I also wanted to freefall and had to 'scratch' that itch. I like the views, nervous fear waiting to jump, and the wind rush on the way down. I have faith in those that have jumped before me, proving it can be done ok.
