Yesterday I made a skydiving it was my 20th birtday with a delay of almost one year...  But it was GREAAAAAAAAAT !!!!!! 13'000 ft from the ground (= 16'000ft from the 0 of the sea) The falling 200km/h during 50-60 seconds. It was an incrediple moment, so fast so hight. Then the parachute opens so relax.     Much more on myspace. www.myspace.com/elodie50a |

I see you cheated by choosing to go the safe route instead of trying out the inflatable boat method. ;D ;D I used to think that would be a really awesome experience, but as I got older... I'm not so sure if I would really jump or not. I'm glad to see you had such a great time and more importantly, that you lived to tell the tale!  Thanks for sharing, Ken |

Hey thank you for all those replies. Yes it was a really great experience. I hesitate a lot about jumping with a lifeboat, but they were no river down there so it wasn't a really good idea... ;D ;D ;D And there is no age to do that. I saw on TV very old people (80) doing those jump, so you can do it. And don't worry you are not alone so you will jump  |

Elodie, I would be afraid to parachute if I didn't pack my own chute. Then again, I would be afraid to parachute if I DID pack my own chute. Anyway, I applaud your bravery!!! (and good pics too) |

Cool Elodie, thank you for sharing Sky Diving is something I want to pick up on after I graduate and have money left. I plan on taking a static line course. |

Well, first off, Joyeux anniversaire!!! Second, you are very fortunate to have experienced such a stunt! I know I wouldn't do it!
I saw on TV the other day an elderly woman (about 70) doing it, only she had her mouth wide open in amazement and her dentures flew off!!!!!
I could just read the headlines: "Man killed by God's dentures. Is it the 8th sign?"
