Living Dangerously

Kyle doesn't get that excited about work usually, but...I don't think that he could contain his excitement about the next three days. Kyle is a paratrooper and this week is doing what he loves, being dangerous.
I have never jumped out of a plane or off anything remotely high for that matter, so I thought I would take a look on the world wide web to get an inside look. Kyle kept saying he wanted a head cam so I could see how great it was, well, I am kinda glad I don't have to watch him, it looks quite frightening to me.
He wasn't sure what type of aircraft they were jumping out of, but this is his first jump since Airborne school (which was like 5 years ago) so I am really hoping he doesn't come home with any broken bones. It is also a little chilly to be jumping out of airplanes if you ask me...maybe the snow will make a softer landing.
Well, here are a couple picture of what it looks like.  I kinda wish I hadn't watched a video that showed how they do this. I am a little worried about him now and don't think he is going to be home till really late tonight, so I have awhile to wait and worry I guess.

Yeah, you've never jumped from any high places. Need I remind you

Cliffs . . . WSU . . . snake on trail?

Let us know he gets home safe and "Sound". Is Kyle ever "sound"?

Awesome post (atleast for a 4 year old). Eddie kept wanting to watch this over and over.

Josh and I went skydiving a couple of years ago. It was such a rush. I would do it again if I had the opportunity. That is neat that Kyle gets to do that. I hope that he gets home soon.

Yeah, I would be scared too. That's cool that he gets to go and do what he enjoys though. Hope he makes it home safe and with all bones in the correct position.
