What an amazing story! 😱 I had no idea that had happened to you! I tend to get into that "chilled-out" zone in emergecy situations too -- including the joking (I once had a nurse give me shit for not taking something seriously enough, in her opinion). I'm glad you're okay & can celebrate this anniversary in generally good health & positive spirits! 🐻❤️

What an astonishing story! The best thing about it , 9 years later, is that you're alive and walking, here to tell us the tale ...

Big HUGS!

Have you been skydiving since then? If not, think you ever will?

I knew you had this happen but I didn't know how it all happened. The fact that you were so jokey about it made me laugh, "That's so Mike."

Have you gone / would you go skydiving again?

I love this story.... it’s like something you’d see on the internet - not happen to somebody you know ... on the internet 😂
