At my age it's the lap dance that's more likely to prove fatal.

Can you book a jump at the lap dancing club ?

Are these tandem jumps then. I think most are these days for health and
safety. I've not done one but plenty have and survived. I'm not sure that
dangling with some sweaty ex military man for some minutes is what I'd like
to do.

I'd much rather do it alone, but I somehow do not think a blind parachutist
would be allowed these days!

If you want to talk to people who have done it, talk to local charities,
they are often done for charity.

I've done quite a few, but by myself. You should do it. It puts a
whole new perspective on the attraction of sitting in front of the
fire with slippers on.

Tell em entrance to the lap dancing club is via parachute?

Don't blame them; I wouldn't willingly jump out of an aircraft unless it
were parked on the ground.

My cousin's boy has done a number of parachute jumps, often followed by
shooting automatic weapons, but HM Government were paying him to do it.

My wife did one a few years ago and as £10k life insurance only cost £1
I thought it was quite safe - she thoroughly enjoyed it. Two weeks
later the same aircraft crashed on takeoff killing the pilot!

I used to do a lot of skydiving. Not jumped for over 20 years though. It's
a fantastic rush. Tandem stuff was just starting to take off back then
though - but it's well established now. Much easier than going through
a days worth of being shouted at.

Biggest adrenaline rush you'll ever get.

I only did 200 jumps before moving onto something else (driving
the planes rather than jumping out), but I was jumping with people
who had done 1000's and one even 10,000 jumps.

My mate at uni did a lot of parachuting. He loved it. Started with round
chutes (simpler but less control) and progressed to square chutes
(harder but lots of direction control, apparantly!).

I guess it comes down to having enough balls to step off the plane!

I would need bicycle clips on my trousers...

No-one has said no to the trip to the lap dancing club.

For safety reasons they may insist on breathalising all the
participants before allowing them on the plane. Maybe
something to check on beforehand.

I know a guy who does this. He reckons he's done about 3000 jumps. He
says it's no problem no sensation of falling. Just step out of the plane
and there you are.
And no I haven't done it.

I did a skydive from 15,000 ft in New Zealand in 2005, my mum also did
it, and she was 60 at the time!

Both of us really enjoyed it and would definitely do it again.

For me, the worst part was the lead-up (having never done it before, not
knowing what it is like) but as soon as you are out, it is just really
really windy (before the chute opens) - You really don't feel like you
are falling, as there isn't really a point of reference to compare your
speed to close enough to judge, it just looks like the ground is coming
towards you fairly slowly really.

Once the chute opens, then it goes quiet, and you float to the ground
and hopefully land gracefully!

I did a jump a fair few years back - but not tandem, static line - they
tie the ripcord to the plane whilst you're still on terra firma. Just as
well, really, in my mate's case - he fell out the door of the plane
whilst getting into position...

The idea of a tandem jump didn't appeal at all. Just strapped there with
no control? Sod that. OK, you get to have a bit of freefall which you
don't with a static line. But... nope, the bit I enjoyed most on the way
down was playing with controlling the 'chute. Pull this cord, it goes
that way. Pull that cord, it goes that way. Pull both, it brakes. Great
fun.

Did a tandem parachute jump many years back.
It's a bit like a balloon flight in so much as you are totally in the
hands of the weather.

Took 3 separate journeys to the airfield to get a day with the right
weather conditions to coincide with the weekend.

Thoroughly enjoyed it in the end though.

Yup. Years ago, wasn't sponsored but I was young and daft.
Was a completely different system then . You jumped solo with a line
back to the aircraft to make sure your parachute opened, six of these
without fluffing (three ordinary static line jumps and three were you
pretended to pull the rip-cord [dummy rips]) and you were allowed to go
onto free-fall (were you opened the chute yourself).

There was no feeling of they aren't listening to me or I am not being
fully trained. Liked it so much that I went on to do six static line
and then three free fall jumps.

Would imagine there is even less to do/think about in a tandem jump
seems you are strapped to someone who knows what they are doing and the
landing with these ram-air canopies can be very gentle.

Go for it it IS a bit intimidating but requires very little thought
from you.

Trouble with that approach with novices is that they dont
know how to handle the situation where the main chute
doesnt deploy properly and needs to be released and
the other chute used.

They do though, or at least did.

I remember nearly a quarter of the training (two thirds seemed to be
how to land) was when and how to deploy the spare (round chutes;
didn't cutaway), and when to try and "untwist" the lines.

Is the training so different these days?

Might be hard to find lap dancers who are
fully qualified tandem jump parachutists tho.

And even harder to find any prepared to jump
close to stark naked like they usually lap dance.

Yes, same for me although all of mine where nearly 30 years ago. I was
jumping the NATO 28 foot round canopies, with the 22 foot throwaway
reserves. You'd dispose of the main parachute by operating the Capewells on
each shoulder.

I did one years ago. During the training I asked the instructor "how
long would I have if my main chute failed and I had to deploy the
reserve chute (after waiting the statuary 6 secs) before I hit the
ground (if the reserve didn't work)", he replied "17 secs".
Everyone gulped. After hearing that, two out the three girls on the
course decided that they wouldn't jump :-)
This was from 2,500 ft.

In reality 17 seconds is a very long time when all you have to do is
deploy your reserve. But for a low-time jumper the issue is one of being
able to keep it all together sufficiently to actually get the reserve out
in the event of a total malfunction. There are/were devices known as AODs
(automatic opening devices) that could be fitted to reserves and would
activate the reserve if the jumper was still in free fall at 2,000 feet,
but these were not fitted to student parachute rigs as it was said they
generated a "false sense of security" for the parachutist. It's probably
different now.

Done a few jumps .... but no tandem .... personally I think the buz is
about getting the training, real good 'bonding' while doing the fan
training jumps, exit drills etc.
Then when you do your first static line jump it's all about you .... you
having the balls to sit in the door way and push yourself out .... not
doing it the wimpy way with an instructor strapped on your back.

For a Stag Do .... Lap Dancing sounds much safer option.

It's not so much having the problem getting them to jump stark naked
