I did it!!!

On Friday 30th June just after 1pm, I jumped out of a plane at 10,000 feet. It was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. The brain can’t really comprehend the reality of the situation, but that doesn’t make it any less scary. I screamed for the entire freefall. The video is hilarious.

I am so proud of myself and feel I can now do

Well done, although I thought that you had more sense ;)

Thanks. It was definitely a mad thing to do. Don't jump out of a plane at 10,000 feet. That just makes no sense!

well done, one thing I will never do, jump out of a plane! Love to see the video.

Thanks! I might inflict the video on everyone, as it is just so funny! Though the jumpsuit I was forced to wear was a little less than flattering...

She flies like a bird in the sky...

[gigib]

More like a screaming, flailing, falling bird ;-)

[chaoscowboy]

Ha! Flap-flap.

Well done! A great achievement and we will be watching closely for what comes next - Everest maybe :-)

[gigib]

Many thanks! It certainly feels like a huge achievement. Next stop - the moon!

Better hurry - the Chinese are going there too. Come to think of it, you can be an astronaut these days, if you have the money. Or how about flight training in a simulator? Not that I want to give you ideas :-)

That's another thing I thought I'd never do, but now seems within the realms of possibility. There's no stopping me now.

I wanna see the video!

[gigib]

Definitely! I'll have to inflict it on everyone I know because it's just too funny!
