Good to See You hit the ground at a reasonable speed Sam....
and I would say You put MOST people off who had thought of doing it....
I would have done it for $10,000 before Your post Sam... Now the price has gone to $30,000.......
When You used the emergency Parachute Sam...... HOW MANY other Emergency Parachutes did You have ?????😀😀😀

hey lee, thanks for the birthday greetings, wish it was still my bday i had so much fun.

about the parachute, yeah, um, thats it, u only get one chance, one backup chute, then its u and the ground.
after the guy showed me how the emergency shoot had never been used b4, and how it was lucky it was packed properly and not just rushed...
dont let my experience put u off, im no thrill seeker, far from it, if it wasnt for the gift i would probably not hav gotten around to doing this for years. and anyway, 1 in a 1000, thats good odds!

look at my face, u cant beat that feeling...
