[MD] Falling out of Time/Space

[MarshaV]

Gav, Krimel,

Speaking of falling.  I made one freefall.  It was only 10 seconds 
and I counted the seconds to pull my ripcord.  But those seconds were 
very, very long.  I remember thinking that one could easily see their 
whole life pass before them in a few seconds.  I was still counting 
those seconds, but it felt like consciousness spread 
sideways/horizontal and there was lots of room of multiple thoughts 
at the same time.  It was amazing.

It was my last jump of the season.  The next spring my first jump was 
static line.  When I landed (in a cow field) I broke my ankle and 
that was the end of that.

You don't forget an experience like that.  Maybe it was so 
unforgettable because it was only one jump.

Anyway...


Marsha
