Operation Freefall

[elionwyr]

Details forthcoming, but the quote of the day came just after the freefall portion of my jump ended, when my instructor yelled into my ear, "I have had parapalegics do better jumps than you!"

I may need to have put on a t-shirt. Yes indeedy.




(Ironically, of the photos I have, only a few show me NOT in this legs-bent position, which..um..is what I believe was the position I was supposed to be in. Reasons for my looking to the side are forthcoming.)

(Photos of me vomiting are non-existent. For this, I am a very happy squirrel.)


However, my instructor landing on top of me after I twisted my ankle? Totally documented.


And here I am, holding up the wrong finger.
...No. No, really.

Summary: WOO I JUMPED! The actual jumping? Absolutely not a problem. I have apparently no problem with the idea of flinging myself from an airplane. There was a wild whoop of laughter, even!
Everything AFTER that? Yeeeeeah, not so good. So now I have to do it again to prove that I can do it well.

mewschangeling was AWESOME and FABULOUS and AMAZING and should make a career out of jumping from perfectly good airplanes.

contrary74 + LJless Charles + hughcasey + cypherindigo + trillsie + ticklygirl = INCREDIBLY generous friends for spending much of their Saturday with us! You guys humble me.

More later..now, fall down go boom.

Only this time, not on my ankle. Yowza.

I want to do it again so I can get it right. We should go together.
