Im not sure, It's something some freinds are doing, I have to call them up and get the details. I need to get the phone number of the place, I'm concerned that they might not have "accomidations" for a 6'5" 280 pound dude.

I'm pretty sure that they will make you be attached to an instructor. I think that you have to take some training in order to do it on your own.

Damn.
You think the training could possibly be given before the jump?
Or are you talking about something that might take a bit longer?

There will most likely be a 1 hour long traning session with a video.This is to show you how to bend your arms and legs so you fall flat and dont go into a wild spin.You will probably be strapped to someone your first time.Then if you payed for 2 jumps you will probably get to go by yourself the second time.This is all just specualtion though.Have a good time man.

i was under the impression you would need a certain amount of hour or jumps till you could go at it alone. somehow a training vid would not exactly leave me feeling ready to do it solo, but then again I'm a bit of a pussy and would probably faint on my way down...even if i was strapped on to someone else.

Thanks!
Well, I guess I'll just have to get the details myself. Although I would rather jump solo, I also dont really want to end up splattered across the ground, so I'm with any necessary saftey precautions.

You may be correct about needing a certain number of hours.But it probably varies from different places and different states as well.We can safely assume he will be jumping with someone strapped and stradling his backside.

I'm almost 100% positive you'll need a certain number of jumps in order to be allowed to go solo. Pretty sure it's more than a few, too...

I was reading a story last week where this girl dropped thousands of feet to her death because the harness that attached her to the instuctor wasn't hooked up right or it just flatout broke.
Good luck.
