  • I feel your pain man. I had a hard opening due to the slider being smaller than specified. Hope all your future openings are nice and soft

  • @trunks5002 Hey mate. I only did 2 more jumps after this, my neck has never been the same it is fucked out. Arthritis has formed on the right hand side of my neck and that seems to be the most damaged part after the accident. All i can say is if you love jumping never take it for granted as one day you might not be able to do it at all, blue skies

  • tap 8

  • @TheDarkRainbowSide I dont understand what you mean.

  • So that only happens with a rushed pack job? What exactly causes it?

  • @Superbruv07 Champ i got your response to my comment below. It is a normal feeling at your stage not to want to pack your own chute but you will need to know to pass your A licence. Knowledge is everything in Skydiving, the more you know the better the Skydiver. It takes time to learn how to pack, just practice. before you know it you will be jumping hung over and trash packing,lol.

see all

  • hard openings are bad enough if you didn't have an extra 5 to 10 pounds worth of cameras on your head. haven't been camera flying for long, but normal openings are enough to end the day with a sore neck.

  • ouch! im sorry

  • Holy shit that looks painfull!

    The aff student didn't wave off by the way :)

  • @Superbruv07 yep trashpakking we did alot of that back in the days with TU-7, we used newspaper just 1 lair with line 1 newspaper then repeat it until ur done we, saves u boring pakkingtime, but it kicks the shit out off you.

  • i just had a hard opening like thes yesterday and it hurt like shit so i know what its like! luckley didnt hurt me severly.

  • @bartsdizzy Lol OK thanks for that! I'm assuming you've had a bit of experience with trash packing and drunk jumps! lol.
