20 years ago, I went for a nice alternative for those who aren't quite ready to JUMP, but like the scene. Sky divers are a fun breed, indeed!
When I went to a dropzone with a pal to watch her first sky-dive, I didn't go for it myself. Never got the urge,not even since my DX seven years later. But what I did do that day (for a nominal fee, and wearing a compulsory safely chute)was go up with them in the passenger seat,next to the pilot,staying in the plane the whole time. I got to see the drops, experts at 10K feet, down to static line newbies at 3K. Very cool.
That said, there aren't many things of that type I'd like to do but can't. My limitations are a bit more everyday in nature.. I used to love to ski..but my balance is not great these days so have given it up. Plus I was a good fast dancer.. loved that.. now I take it a bit easier..One thing I really can't do as easily is go down a flight of stairs fast..I used to be so fleet of foot.. Oh well-- I can't complain really-- as I've said on other threads.. I have a light case.. I'm lucky.
