So it was a tandem jump. Presumably from a height much greater than my 2000' solo.

You didn't have to shout "One thousand, two thousand, three thousand, check canopy" (3 seconds then check that the 'chute has opened), which, in my case, came out as, "One thou..... aaaaahhhhhhh ----- check canopy".

Something to tell your grandchildren (mine are already bored !)

Nice video! Well done. Was that made using a green screen? Razz

I watched it as a punishment because I've been naughty today. My stomach will be in knots for the rest of the day and I'll have to take an extra tablet tonight! This is how I know why I don't jump out of aeroplanes. Ooh MaFt, you're really, really aaaaaaaaard. Clap Not Worthy
