Excellent Skydiving Advice....

Recently, I got to thinking about my first skydiving instructor. During class he would always take the time to answer any of our stupid first-timer questions.

One guy asked, "If our chute doesn't open, and the reserve doesn't open, how long do we have until we hit the ground?"

Our jumpmaster looked at him and in perfect deadpan and answered, "The rest of your life."

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving probobly isn't for you.

I always thought it was really stupid to jump out of a perfectly working good plain.

But thats what 'THEY' said.
