Yep, Go to the Pub instead.

Seriously though.........

Rather you than me mate, I fail to see the point of jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft...

All the best for the jump, I'm sure you'll have an absolute blast

Relax, enjoy it and ARCH !!

What are you doing, tandem, static line or AFF1 ?

Did my "A" Licence about 7 years ago, only done about 45 jumps.
Haven't jumped for years and have sold most of my gear.

dont look down. I found the more terrifying bit was standing in the door way waiting to topple out. oh yeah and w hen the chute opens you go back up and its a bit sore. when landing lift your legs right up or you will fall on your face with wee man behind you landing on you. its an experience and well done for doing this for such a good cause. all the best xxx

Great advice, free falling towards the floor, belly down, don't look down.

Keep your eyes closed the whole way, that will help avoid brown stains as you will have NO idea when you're about to pretend to be a fly with a car heading towards it at 140mph.

What is the last thing they see anyway??

(sorry, not much help that is it? Great fun though, you'll love it!)

Yes I get your point!! But if you met the little girl you would all queue to do this and I can hardly bottle out since one of my team is doing it and he has cerebral palsy!!

Thanks for your 'advice' folks

If you hear thunder sometime afternoon don't be mislead it's more likely to be me screeming!!

Ooooh! Neat! I've only ever bungee jumped (300ft superjump at chelsea bridge) but I know the fear. You'll be alright.

Open your mouth so your cheeks and lips flap around. Make sure someone's filming it.

Good luck!

Well this will be the last post before then 'event'...

For anyone in the area, we will be jumping from Redlands Airfield Swindon just off Jct 15 M4 so if you see a suspicious cloud...
