Whoops! Scary! I didn't get any sound though. Glad he got down safely. You'd not get me doing that, not even when I was young.

Get up there and do one, it's the best jump you'll ever have

The adrenalin rush is fantastic.

The first jump is the easiest.

The main problem with this was the para's inability to cut himself free and a worry for the aircrew is him losing consciousness or worse.

Note his inability to control his descent(direction)he's at the mercy of the prevailing wind conditions.

Hi

Well if any of you do fancy a go, Prees is the place.

Mind you, it doesn't always go right.

You can still see the dent in the roof as you drive past.

If you do fancy a go, I will put you up for the night, it is only two miles away and it is great fun.

I wonder how the lad felt just suspended in mid air, very frightening indeed!

I wish I had done a parachute jump when I was a bit younger.
