I jumped from 13,500 feet...once... and it was tandem. It was the most fun I ever had, just need to do it more often.

I had it video taped and they dubbed in Van Halen's 'Jump'. Maybe I'll go again when my kid turns 16.

I have hundreds of jumps, so wish to tell you something.

Relative work - where jumpers hook up with each other - - is one of the most fun things in life. I loved to jump last. You have to catch up to the other jumpers and to do so would go into a dive that would speed you past 200 mph. It was the biggest rush imaginable.

Good luck to this jumper. That’s a LONG time to fall.
