A couple of my buddies did this recently which I thought was just crazy. I would have never even thought about doing it before my injury but I feel like it's something I might actually want to try. Have any of you done it prior to your injury? Would you do it now?

I know quite a few Paras ( Army, parachute regt. that is . . ) my standard answer is why jump out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft? It got me up there, so it can get me back down . .

Gives you some sense of security.

Fair enough! As I quad I say you definitely wouldn't want to be a quad
