Like i said in another post my brother had an incident happen to him last time he jumped out of the airplane. His Platoon Leader got sucked under the airplane and tangled up with him. They hit the ground hella hard. My brother got a hurt hip becuase she landed right on top of him and she broke her ankle. I have about 30 pics of the entire thing so i thought i'd only post two
My brother is the one on the bottom

I think they jump out at 1,500 feet or something.

what unit is your brother with? That usually does not happen but we also had a couple of close calls at my old unit which did jumps regularly. They are static line drops and usually done at a low ceiling. My unit also did them with full packs hanging. Hope he is ok ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Danna, be very glad and thank God your brother is still alive.
Good to hear he'll be alright.
I've always wanted to try jumping out of a plane, but life is too precious.. and with my fuckin' luck.. i'll just become one of those unfortunate statistics.
Good luck man.
