My second jump (i only ever did three) my harness was incorrectly positioned around my crutch... three minutes of my whole body weight being supported by my bollocks was compounded buy the drop zone being a large field full of Sheep... bloody stupid animals, no matter how loudly you yell at them from above they can't look up and consequenctly move in a totally manic random fashion.. lucky not to have been done for unatural acts with animals It was also the jump where after packing my parachute up and handing it back to the Army Sargent who was teaching us i realised my wrist watch had inexpliquably vanished... Bloody crap day all round, least i didn't hit the only building for 10 miles around like one of the other novice jumpers

They are daft creatures but I guess they're not used to large objects falling from the sky...did they help cushion your fall?

I was actually quite slim and light in those days Fortunatley i managed to steer around them more by luck than design, though a couple of them did panic when the parachute enveloped them and it all when prematurely dark.
