Was in Polk Co earlier. Was supposed to be skydivers at the event. I hope this wasn't the reason they didn't show. Gosh that is terrible. Prayers from my family in this terrible event.

Skydiving is really scary to me, I don't even like to fly in an airplane, although I do if I have to travel. I really hate that this has happened, I know it is a shock to his family and friends.

Hell I hate planes and dont get on them as I prefer to drive everywhere and see what I go by, but if I did get on a plane, I sure as hell would not jump out of a perfectly good one.

Was watching a movie the other day about Muhammed Ali. One of his guys was aking him why he did not like to fly. He told him if the car quit that they would not fall for 30000 feet.

Most accidents involving airplane crashes happen when a perfectly good airplane does not have a perfectly good landing. I have 13 military jumps and 2 civilian jumps and it is a rush.

My grandmother never flew in her 93 years. She said she wasn't worried about her "time" coming, she was worried about getting up there and the pilots "time" coming.

My dad was an Airforce pilot for 33 years and my husband was a paratrooper. I still don't like to fly.

I had heard he hit head-first and that the helmet cam took the brunt of it. They were gonna have to call in specialists to retrieve the tape it was so bad. So I guess they got it successfully
