Living the Life: Parachute Jump
My first Free-Fall!
At the plane's edge 2 1/2 miles up in the sky, Jump?
JUMP! Begin Free-Fall . . .
YEAH! 6,000 feet . . . about that time to open the parachute.
Mother
and
Son
parachuting!
It was a
very
incredible
event that
we shared!
Every time I
hear the song,
"JUMP" by
Van Halem,
I think of this
special day!
Memory sealed
with videos and
still life photos.
Robert Baron's Free-Fall!
Robert enjoyed living life to the fullest!
He was a natural in anything he did!
YEAH!...the parachute opened!
Homestead, FL, 1975 - I (and my husband) jumped out of a plane 3,000 feet high in the sky and was hooked on to a static line. A static line is a line that is hooked to the plane and will open your parachute automatically (hopefully) as
you fall. The few seconds until my parachute opened were unclear, for that reason I did not jump again, until.... Central Florida Area, November 1998 - I did my first Free-Fall Tandem (photos). My son, Robert Baron Pardo, shared this experience by jumping tandem also. As you can see in the above, tandem is free-falling with an instructor. I jumped 2 1/2 miles up in the sky, 13,500 feet. What a RUSH!!! I made sure I kept my eyes open this time. It was the biggest 'rush' I ever experienced in my life.
My son and I jumped again on January 1999, Next time, I am going SOLO!
Central Florida Area, September 1998 - I went in a hot air balloon ride near the Walt Disney area.
