anyone here ever gone parachuting? if so you have prolly gone on a tandem jump. i haven't done this. however, i'm curious can you go on a tandum jump naked (other than the chute) and have good times with your jump partner?

I call it skydiving.... and yes I've done a tandem. I would suppose you could go naked, but I think that would not feel good on the family jewels... you see, its extremely windy, and they would definately flap around and probably hurt like hell. Also, there is a harness that goes between your legs in that area, and if your shit got caught in that harness, you would probably pass out from the pain when your chute deployed. I saw a guy hit the ground that had that happen, through his pants, and he rolled around and vommited for like 10 minutes. Also, those suits have special ridges on them to help you stablize in air... so, officially, I'd say it would be pretty difficult... but, I wouldn't be too surprised if some crazy bastard out there has tried it.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "flapping in the breeze"

Cujo now has proof that it's possible... who's anyone kidding... what's not possible nowadays? Terminator 3 is out for crying out loud! IMO I think it'd hurt.

The thought of it scares the fuck out of me.
Planes are for flying in and I can see no logical reason for jumping out of one.
I'd love to blast around Datona though.(Not total wimp).

there was an article in maxim about a man who jumped out of the plane and got hit in the head by the tail of the plane before he could fall... it just made me firmly say no to the idea :< i dont like taking risks...

i doubt ud be able to "have good times" with your jump partner (depending on your definition) since the fall would be so short...
