very dangerous and risky.... rather you than me.

Carol Barnes's daughter died doing one in Oz...... they said it was a "Tragic Accident" but, why jump out of a perfectly good, working aeroplane ?

more people with perfectly good eyes get run over.!:bigwave:
 




I did one from Airlie Beach in Oz a few years ago - 8.000ft over the Whitsunday Islands - amazing views and a fantastic experience!!

I did mine from Airlie Beach too.

I had considered doing it in the UK but I figured that if you are gonna cop it then you might as well do it somewhere warm and beautiful - not that 'many' people actually cop it :lol::lol:

hmmm you can choose between falling over clear blue skies above the whitsundays or through the smog above some marsh on the outskirts of birmingham

You'll love it, experience of a lifetime, I jumped from 14,000ft over Byron Bay Aus. in March. I felt like I was walking on air for days afterwards. You're more likely to be killed being driven in a car, so if you survive the trip to the airfield thats the risky bit out of the way. Small donation on its way via the link above.

You need the weather to be kind, if low cloud or fog obscure the dropzone it will be called off, a friend of mine ended up going back to the airfield three times before she could jump, each time waiting nearly all day.

Erm because some of us enjoy it??

I enjoyed it enough to do it as a job for 6 years
