Well hello there. What is the craziest thing you have ever done? Ski diving, rocky mountain climbing, 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu Man Chu? We went down as a family to watch Michael and Mike do the 2 1/2 minute fall. It was awesome. One guy's first chute didn't open. That was a little freaky. Other then that all went well.
Mike wanted to do something special for Michael's senior graduation. He asked Michael what he would like to do. My son, nothing at all like me, says ski dive. Ahhhh ok. So here they are affidatives in lap looking at the tv. There was a video on stating that if there parachute didn't open or if there is any malfunction or any damage or death involved you will not sue. I REPEAT YOU WILL NOT SUE IF YOU ARE KILLED. Huuu
Ah Teen I have to tell you ....I took out a life insurance policy just in case my parachute doesn't open. The code is....................
The instructor asked Michael "Hey dude, did you make sure all your players are in center field?" Michael was like ahhh huuuu....ooooo Yeah man. Then the instructor yanked on those harness belts. Ouch. But ahhh yea it kept him safe.
Mike is having second thoughts. Look at his face. Does this look like a man who WANTS to jump? When you look up the word petrified in the dictionary I think this is the face you would see.
Soooo much time preparing for this. It takes longer to gear up then the actually jump takes.
Checking straps, belts, buckles, and harnesses. Don't want any one slipping out or away from instructor.
Mike and Michael were checked twice by there instructors. Now time to head out and go over how to land one more time. ( and hopefully check the instructors chuts. )
Here is Michael's instructor. Notice he is checking himself twice too. Thank you so much since you will be carrying my son.
This is the sweet lil' airplane 12 people piled in. Six jumpers and six instructors.
Michael is just amazed by the awesome experience that was. He said it felt like a roller-coaster ride and spinning on a tire swing all in one.
Praise God!!!!
They made it. Luke couldn't get them unbuckled fast enough. He was so happy when they land
