Skydiving Accident- Big Owie!

I had to argue with a few Doc's before I got one to authorize me to jump again.

Two total malfunctions; one partial malfunction; two trees; one missed Drop Zone; one runway (twice - same runway); three buildings; one deuce and a half and one HMMWV.

None of the injuries were sustained from the jumps. The landings, however, accounted for quite a few...

I can't imagine being able to do much with that kind of damage.

It's really easy...if it doesn't hurt....it doesn't work.

Jesus Tobi!!!
How old are you?
After I broke my foot on my 38th jump, I gave it up. My boss told me, "You get in a car accident, we understand. You throw your ass out of an airplane, F-U!"
So that was the end of that.

You're a crazy man! LOL!
I bet you're fun with a couple of drinks in you.

Tobs first jump was out of a hot air balloon at Napoleans request.

Isn't he also the father of Chuck Norris?

As a teen Chuck Norris impregnated every nun in a convent tucked away in the hills of Tuscany. Nine months later the nuns gave birth to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only undefeated and untied team in professional football history.

True Story.

Not exactly.

Exiting the arcraft over Ft Campbell, KY (Suckchon DZ) at night....I was aiming for the turn -in point, identified by a green chemlight.

Only problem was, our hero was using the chemlight to find his lighter in the back of the deuce.

I found the turn-in point, the truck, the Soldier AND his lighter....all at the same time.

I'm scared to death of having surgeries on my back and neck. What kind of re-hab did you go through?
I haven't had a pain free day in 10 years. But the thought of letting some orthopod stick a knife into me and "fix" me doesn't comfort me. I know very few people that had back or neck surgeries and said, "Boy! Am I glad I did that!"
