Sadly, I can't fly...

[wyliec]

Squeaked out a mere 350'ish miles, tired and sore as all he77.

My bride decided to join the failed flight crowd, getting off the trike at Dennies Sports Bar she stepped in a pothole and went over backwards. I'll say this, Thank GOD she still had her helmet on, because her head made an ungodly thunk when she hit the ground! She will also have a nice bruise on her backside.

I looked over her helmet and cannot find a mark on it, still not going the chance it being ok, so I just ordered her a new HJC replacement.

A few months back my girl friend's sister fell in the kitchen, and blacked out for a second. I told my g.f. let's get her to the emergency room right now. My g.f. said she's okay now, and I said you get your a$$ into the car right now we're taking her to the emergency room. They found she had a hematoma and her sister had to stay in the hospital for a few days until they dissolved it. I don't want to tell you what would have happened if we'd not taken her to the hospital when we did. I would take your bride to be checked. It sounds like an uncontrolled fall with no time to brace herself.

Or, you don't need a parachute to skydive. You DO need one to skydive twice.

Didja see the you-tube vid of the bloke who completed the first planned jump from 25,000 feet WITHOUT a parachute... & walked away from it?! I think this is the one...

Regardless, it's gutsy play, even if a bit silly - & apparently the first 2 were just to get his name in the record books?!

Next time, do ground school before trying flight.
