I didn’t know how close the ground was until my knees hit me in the face. Terminal velocity takes what, about 1900 feet? So yeah surviving a 2000 foot jump with that late a chute… I’d have bought a lottery ticket that night knowing I was one lucky mother fucker that day. :tup: to not having a RIP thread. ---

I was with several other people, so they came to me pretty quick. It was pretty scary, but scarier the more I thought about it. I’ve dialed it back a lot since then, but still jump a lot. I have just under 470 BASE jumps now. ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > Ok nyspeed doctors, I injured my ribs a week and a half ago and they still hurt pretty bad. My family has told me to go to a doctor but I am convinced they do nothing worthwhile for rib injuries. Don’t they just wrap you in an Ace bandage? > > Sneezing, yawning, coughing, burping, and laughing really hurt when your ribs are fuxored but trying to sleep is the worst if you toss and turn. Ribs can take pretty long to heal. I’ve been to the doc before for broken/bruised/cracked w.e you want to call it ribs and basically all you can do is rest. Like 2-3 months recovery or so for me. So painful sneezing and sleeping ---

I go in tomorrow for an MRI on my foot/ankle. Looks to be a Lis Franc fracture and a torn ligament…also have bone fragments in my ankle that was found in my x-ray. ---

Figured I would bump an old thread rather than start a new one. Decided to hit the gym at my college reunion over the weekend and ruptured / tore my pectoral off the humerus from what I gather. Surgery on Monday. ---
