Skydiving. It's a helluva sport.

I've jumped 4 times myself, and decided not to play the odds beyond that.

...and we was pronounced dead later...

I am sure they wouldn't want to jump the gun on that pronouncement.

I've jumped 4 times myself, and decided not to play the odds beyond that.

I'm what's known as a "cherry jumper". I did my five jumps to earn my wings at Jump School at Fort Benning, and haven't jumped since.

No doubt, it was great training. I don't remember much from those five jumps, as we jumped at 1200 feet, and I was constantly looking around to make sure that no one was on top of my chute.

My most vivid memories are walking off the drop zone under my own power, and pinning on the wings.
