I guess she shouldn't mess around with a fellow sky divers boyfriend...and then leave her alone...

I'll be doing my first jump later this year -- a tandem. Maybe I should check to make sure the instructor has no one angry with him before I go.

I'm sure you guys hate explaining everything and that's why you add links to the stories, but I can't view the links here at work. Could someone please sum it up to me??

Personally, I want to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather. Screaming in terror, like the passangers in his car, has to be a drag.

As to your original story, I note that it is carried by that notoriously biased Fox News. I submit that they have carried this story only to further slander the morally neutral practice of adultery (it's only wrong depending on your perspective!) in obsequience to those pro-marriage Christians that make up their demographic.

One woman skydiver is arrested for sabotaging another woman skydivers parachute cause she was cheating with the womans boyfriend.

Re: Just another reason not to jump out of a plane - 01/25/07 03:41 PM

I would still skydive. I'll just make sure to be a good girl and not fool around with another womans man.

People really do amaze me. Did she think she would get away with it?

They always think they can get away with it.

Gee, I could think of a few ways to die that are not painful.

With as hard as they probably hit the ground, they died pretty quick I assume.

I would bet she felt nothing, but having only seconds to think about your death is what I was saying is horrible about it.

I think she would have died mid-fall--from shock or something.

I thought that parachuting policy--and prudence--dictated that already.

I thought everyone was supposed to check their chutes before boarding the plane.

I went skydiving a couple of years ago, and it was awesome. I really want to do it again sometime.

It was funny cause one of my friends went with me, and we both had a tandem jump. He made the mistake of telling his instrutor that he was a little bit scared, so the instructor was trying to calm him down by saying things such as "these straps look like they will hold THIS TIME", and "this chute looks like it should work THIS TIME". It was hilarious.

Also remember when skydiving, your helmut is wearing YOU for protection.

Yes, infact I did. The guys out there are really cool, and they have the best safety record around. It was really cold when I went, but that made it so it was not crowded and I didn't have to wait too long. That 60 seconds of free fall was the best! I even went through a cloud.

I went in dallas and I know how to check my equipment. I won't go to any ole place to do it. I'm going to make sure it is a reputable business.

I am so jealous of the people that have done it. I really want to, but I don't have the extra cash right now.

I hear it's not the fall that will kill you...it's the sudden stop at the end.

I did a tandem jump about 20 years ago. I loved it and always thought I'd do more, but never did. Now with learning to fly, I truly have no desire to jump anymore - I'd rather just fly the plane.

I had a boyfriend in my younger years that skydived all the time. I'd go watch him alot but then he tried talking me into and I just didnt have the nerve. Makes it kinda hard to jump from an airplane when you're afraid of heights and have a fear of faaaaaaalling. LOL

This may sound strange, but skydiving feels nothing like falling.

Really? 'cause when I fall down, it sure feels like falling. LOL

Because you are so high in the air, you don't see the ground rushing up to meet you (like when you fall). You feel like you are just standing in mid air, with a 200mph wind blowing by.
