Holy Crap!

I JUMPED OUT OF A PLANE!!

No... wait. It's better than that...

I HUNG OFF THE WING OF A PLANE AT 3500 FEET AND THEN LET GO!!!!

Oh yes I did!! I am totally pumped - it's unbelievable. I've got a bruise the size of Singapore on my right wrist, and I feel ever so slightly sick at the thought of what I just did, but it was the most holymotherofgodexciting thing I've ever ever done.

Now, I got it all on film, and I have the DVD in my possession. I've watched it twice already. And I'm going to find someone, somewhere, that can show me how to put the video on the web. I have a feeling it's got something to do with Real Player or something... ANYWAY - my point is that you will soon be able to witness my jump for yourself!!!

I was originally going to do a tandem skydive, but then the man told me that there's more chance of things going wrong with a tandem, and that a Static Line Jump gives you more control and it's way more exhilarating. So, because I'm a glutton for punishment, I went for the Static Line.

I think I might have actually passed out for about 2 seconds, just after I let go of the plane... not sure. Maybe my brain was so overloaded that it just had to shut down for a second or two. I remember climbing out onto the platform under the wing, then hanging onto the wing, and swinging out, and I was just hanging above a 3500 foot drop, and I was thinking, "Holy shit I can't let go but I've got to." Then the only thing that made me let go was gut wrenching loss of my personal preservation instinct. I just thought: "Bazza - let go of the plane. You may die, but at least you'll have done it wearing the coolest white boiler suit and a red stackhat."

I had to do a crash landing cos I lost all the strength in my arms and couldn't pull the brakes on the parachute, but I didn't get hurt cos they trained me how to do it. And then I was just rolling around in a field of little yellow flowers pissing myself laughing! Ha.

I can't believe I've done it. Right now I feel like I could do absolutely anything! So, to avoid doing absolutely anything, I'm having an early night.
