The skydiver is the only sane one of the bunch. Stepping out of a
Casa-212, at 12,500 feet, with 20 of your friends with you and
turning 4 or 5 points. Dumping the main at 2,000 and swooping in to a
perfect one point landing. Only thing better is the last load of the
day dumping the main at 6,000 reaching into your jumpsuit and pulling
out a beer or two and enjoying the peaceful ride. I sure do miss
skydiving.



Land on your head once too often?


Actually no, I never landed on my head from a skydive. In fact I never
had to use my reserve, 1700 jumps all landing on a main canopy. Do you
want to read the newspaper articles written about me and my skydiving?




You quit much too soon.
