Yep, that's me, with some random old man strapped to my back.

It wasn't as fun as it looks. It turns out 125mph wind is kind of uncomfortable and really loud. I didn't find it scary at all. Just uncomfortable.

Also, my streak of not vomiting since something like 1992 ended before we landed. :(

Glad I did it once, doubt I'll do it again.

Where was this / why'd you go do it? Totally on a whim? >_>

A guy from games night wanted to go and invited people to come with. I had always wanted to try it so I went. The place was Skydive San Francisco, which is kind of a misnomer as they're actually about an hour and a half north of SF (on 101). Lots and lots of vineyards in that area.

There's a video too, but I don't really want to put it on youtube so you probably won't see it. :P
