Karnowski - Congrats. Good to hear. P.S. Karnowski, check your PM. I sent you a link of that video you asked for - as a congrats present... If you wanna post it on your facebook website or something so people can see it, go for it...
Since I posted this here - now you will have peer pressure for everyone to see you yelling in freefall "one, two, three"....

Re: [Para_Frog] Comeback Jump
I'm glad you're back, but there's one little detail I noticed on the video which made me wonder how much of a "learning experience" this really was. Quoting from the original thread following the bridge strike:

The good news!!! His new helmet probably saved his life. He's still in the hospital, but other than a broken ankle and some cuts he is probably going to be okay.
There are plenty of situations where a helmet isn't really required. I've jumped lots without one, too. I guess I'm just wondering what your reasoning was here.

Re: [crwper] Comeback Jump
obviously, on the jump in question, he needed a helmet, and made a sound decision in wearing one. on this 'first jump back', from the video we can obviously see a helmet would have never come in handy, and therefor he made a sound decision in not wearing one. how does this logic not make perfect sense?

You've had 3 months to to procure another one. 
I'm sure Abbie would've sold ya one.

...go scoot across the floor in self pity ya bum!
We'll remember that for next time you bust yourself up.
That said, I totally agree with your decision not to wear a helmet. Wouldn't want to ruin that pretty emo cut you have.
