That's a true TTR brother that puts his life/death decisions to a poll here.

Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at altitude, what could go wrong...

But if given the chance, I'd probably do it too.

Make sure you leave the hose on under your chair.

well I Was letting the 450lbs worth of dogs out to run and play AROUND the chair WHILE I AM trying to reach the limbs -0-- and cut them ........ will that work ?

I smoke and drink scotch too, just like Mr. white here. Well, honestly ill drink anything lmao

If you want to jump out of a plane, do it.

Probably a heck of a lot safer than driving to work.

Mike if do jump, don't forget to scream alua aqbar this is for Americaaaaaaaaa.

Lol i told my mom and my sister the same thing! Driving in this state full of rustbucket beaters with pillbillies and methheads behind the wheel is like playing Grand Theft Auto. Probably safer jumping

My wife and I got an offer to go skydiving on July 17 with my brother and his wife , a couple hours north of here. We had always wanted to do this and actually, talked about it for our 10 year anniversary ( which is this year coincidentally). We have 3 certified jumps from 2 years ago but it was indoor skydiving ( which is recognized but nowhere near the same as the real thing obviously).

The dilemma I got came from my mom and sister, who are both admittedly scared of anything like this. They began berating me as being stupid and reckless to my 2 kids with lines like " you're gonna orphan them for what?!?! A thrill?!?". So yeah that's great, now im doubting myself over them ( my brother has 3 kids of his own and is in the same spot).

Anyways, with this lil info, ill put it to a poll.

If they are afraid of it, THEY don't have to do it. They might be scared of flying so don't do that either? Or cross the street or eat red meat or drink beer....

Exactly. Safer than long distance driving.

Why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

Sorry, it’s not my cup of tea.

I talked 4 other friends to jump with me on my 30th BD. Somewhere I have a VHS tape I think I digitized. If I find it I’ll post it. Jumped from 13,500 feet and stuck the landing . First and only jump, I’m in the middle. My older brother quit after over 1500 jumps.
