I have never figured out why people jump out of a perfectly good aircraft! Congratulations on Graduating, it's each to their own with the celebrations, it makes my planned Garmin purchase look boring at the side of your celebration.

Hahah indeed!! Garmin no good for me as I don’t care about stats so throw myself out at 150mph instead 🀣🀣

OMG Polly you are so brave I won't even go up in an aircraft let alone jump out if it... at least not while the engines are still working, well done you πŸ˜€

Not brave at all!! Just an amazing experience and raised loads which was a bonus!! Luke my instructor needs the credit...we were going out the door and nothing I could do but enjoy it!!!

Totally braver than me!! :) I was 'supposed' to do this once - despite the best efforts and severe kicks of the Jumpmaster I clung on so desperately to the wing strut I had bits of rust and paint from it embedded in the palms of my hand when they finally realised I was NOT going to jump :)

My hat is off to you, Brave Graduate! :)

Haha!! I can just picture it!! Don’t feel brave at all...think I must be a bit of an adrenaline junkie πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Oh I used to CRAVE the old adrenaline rushes - but jumping out of a plane a mile above the hard ground and trusting my life to what was basically on oversized silk hanky....nope!

There is an old saying in some circles that goes 'Hanging to good for him! - A good kick up the a&$e is what he needs!"

The kicks I got that day made me realise the comparative kindness that Hanging CAN be in some situations vis a vis being kicked....but no WAY was I getting off that plane until its altitude was about four feet and air speed at zero! LOL

As for being strapped to some death-wish fiend and letting them control the drop....you really ARE brave! :)

Follow on from yesterday's post: do you get up and run, or get up, eat, run?

easier to get motivated! So next question: Do you eat before you run? Or just get up and go out?...
