Wen to Vegas for my birthday and decided to jump out of a pretty decent airplane.
Here is a link to the rough video

Sweet! One of the guys I fly RC with (and who helped me get a job at FedEx) is a skydiving instructor and he said he'd hook me up... I just gotta grow a pair first

I am full of good ideas, just most people don't call it good ideas!
Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane?
From what I hear, that plane was held together by more than its fair share of duct tape...Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane?You will notice I said it was a decent plane. When asked about the duck tape, one instructor replied that it was ok, cause the tape was FAA approved.....At that point I wanted to be hooked in to someone with a parachute just in case

There is never a good reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! :)
Seriously though it looked fun.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! Looked like you had a blast!
I wish I had the nerve to do that...everyone I know that's done it has LOVED it! I was doing good to do the "sky coaster" at Sixflags!
and I did this one in Scotland on
Princess Street in Edinburgh on New Years Day:
It was an awesome ride. I'd definetly do it again.
I'm going to get my video to Shawn so he can chop it up with his and James'.

My uncle was a paratrooper in World War II. I ask him how many times he jumped out of an airplane. He said "Once, after that they had to push me."
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Looks like great fun! It's in my to-do list, hopefully I'll get to do it soon.

I couldn't make myself jump when I went bungee-jumping. Stood there and stood there...Had to close my eyes and just lean till I fell off. Can't imagine what it's like from several thousand feet higher.
as you saw, they don't give you much of a chance to reconsider, once you are in the plane you are going. I think Kamil saw the altimiter on my instructor and it was somewhere in the 12,500-13,000 ft range when we left the plane. All I can say is that if you are thinking of doing it....DO IT

Why does the guy with the parachute get the helmet and the newbie only gets goggles?
