So I've decided my goal for the next year is to complete an AFF course (Accelerated Free Fall) and become a fully certified Free Fall Skydiver.....
I know you probably think I'm crazy for wanting to jump out of a perfectly good plane - Once you experience the sensations/emotions of jumping from 15,000 feet it just gets into your blood!
Wooohoooo!!!!!

Skydiving must be the ultimate exercise. i mean, you only have to make one tiny hop and your heart rate instantly goes to 180!!! Now THAT is cardio!!

Wow!  So how do you know you're at what altitude? I would be afraid of missing the time to pull! |

You wear an Altimeter on your wrist or back of your left hand  You also have to have an Automatic Activation Device (AAD) which is an electronic-pyrotechnic or mechanical device that automatically opens the main or reserve parachute container at a preset altitude or after a preset time. Ian |

I want to skydive. I have wanted to do that for years. It is definitely something that I have toyed with more now that I have lost some weight. I was afraid that no parachute could hold me before and I would plummet to the ground in a mighty THUD. But I have been thinking about it as a reward when I reach a goal. I really want to skydive.  |

I jumped twice when I was 19 - after the second time - I no longer had the need.
