Well i just did. MMM up here in Brisbane is running a comp where you can dare someone and if they do the dare they get a $1000. well my wife sent in and dared me to jump out of a perfectly good plane at 12 000 feet. It was certainly a buzz but very painfull with the harness digging in and the flexing of the back and the case of motion sickness as i went into a spin. but well on landing i just won $1000. it will go to air on Friday morning.

A $1000.

i don't settle for anything under $5000.
Well thats how much i get extra in my pay packet for jumping out of planes at work.

some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs

funly enough falling out of a plane is not as easy as it sounds.

if you don't get your body position right you can be in a flat spin heading out to sea (gotta love quotingg Top Gun)

What the hell is a Char bag???????????


Jen, don't worry about what i said.
If you do a tandem then i am pretty sure that the person you are strapped to has thier own safety in mind aswell, so i am sure that you would be ok.

And if you are going to jump, go to the guys at skydive nagambi, they are the best in Vic and among the best in the country. I have a few mates that jump there and they are extremely professional, even if they don't always look it. :P😎😉😠:party

in one word... yes.
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

I'd do it again for sure.
word of advice for those thinking about doing a tandem.
DON"T.
pay the extra and do a solo. You'll be glad you did. 🙂

solo is the best part.

i did two tandems before i got qualified to go solo.

i would hate to go back to being a passenger now.
