Priscilla! That was AWESOME!! I think that was just so great of them to film the whole thing too.
I got my Military Para Wings when I was in the service, where they make you do the jump from only 800 -1000 feet with round 'chutes, which is really only enough time for the 'chute to open before you reach the ground (military style is to get in hard and fast so there's no time for the enemy to shoot you down). NOT a fun experience - the landings were bone jarring. I did do a couple of tandem dives from 15,000 feet as well, and that was much more enjoyable. The rectangle 'chutes give you a much gentler landing. Good on you for being brave enough to give it a go. Do you think you'll do it again?
