Re: Skydiving
I've got my wings from my Army days. Never got any more jumps other than jump school, but I think we were more worried about pissing off the Sergeant Airbornes than hitting the ground hard. Hell, there was no such thing as hitting the ground soft with those chutes, now that I think about. Our entire training was essentially learning how to hit your seven points of contact properly and avoiding making your head the eighth.
FWIW, we did it at 1750 ft. Not a whole lot of wiggle room to pull your reserve if your main chute fails. Love to go civilian jumping someday, but I think the wife would kill me. "The earth is 3/4 water; the rest is drop zone!" |
