| - I would not recommend this jump to anyone, unless you want to pay a lot of money for Dr. visits, X-rays, physical therapy, pain meds, etc. I did this jump in 2010 and what a mistake it was. Just remember you are risking your life or an injury that could mess up your back, pelvis, and who knows what else. Unfortunately, it happened to me. I always try and warn anyone that I know is planning on doing it or wants to. Whoever was in control of my cord ("free fall") was not paying attention or didn't calculate the fall because I had a hard landing and landed on one leg. Your fall is supposed to be light and graceful-like.
I was running marathons and had to quit running for over three years because my back and pelvis were so out of whack. I had to deal with numbness and tingling in my hands and feet for over 8 months not knowing what the heck was going on or if I was going to get better. The worst part of course was being in pain no matter how I would sit or standed.
It's a good thing I wasn't working at the time because I was on paid meds daily (that just made me sick and loopy). So, when you go there to sign their contract, you are basically signing your life away. Their contract basically says you can't sue for any reason and even death is not their fault.
Again, if you want to risk your life/body, go for it. I use to be an adrenaline junky, but after this incident, I basically play it safe with everything. It's no fun being in pain for a few yearss and wasting most of your time and money on an injury that could have been prevented.
Good luck to all that choose to risk their life. :(
