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.
the things you do for money

LOL.....that sounds much better than the fat dude who walked across the Goodwill bridge in a G string........:puke

Wag67 ·

we got some photos and hopefully there should be some on the mmm website after friday. nothing from up in the air mind you.
tell your other half to expect a sore face and sore body afterwards if she does it tandum

$1000 to be a meat bomb................yeah I'd do it. Good stuff!

Anthiron ·

id do it for 10 bucks

Oasis ·

I paid $300 to do it. Bugger.

buzzbug ·

A $1000.
no way
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.

VWFREAK ·

No way I'd do it for free. Been there done that, what a rush.

zac_smits ·

whose got a plane and a (working) parachute...

i'll do it...

buzzbug ·

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)

buzzbug talk about put a person off....right when I was ready to jump!!!

Well if they have a boat waiting then maybe???? :thumb

buzzbug ·

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

wacked1 ·

i had to pay to do it, was hella fun

Starbug ·

in one word... yes.

Purple Martin ·

I paid to do it tandem, it was just awesome. And no I wasn't sore at all after, just grinning madly! Everyone should do it 😀

vwtyp2 ·

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. 🙂

buzzbug ·

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.

vern74 ·

I would do it free
I wouldn't even care about sore bits !!!!!
Well maybe a little

Fossil ·

onya but what about the guy with the leg and chest wax job for hair removal - his woman does it fortnightly and wanted him feel the pain - suppose that's typical though and fortnightly mmmm leave it to you

ColumBUS ·

Julie-Anne ·
