I'm doing my skydiving-licence at the moment (in switzerland). Wenn I first got to my dropzone the first thing i saw was a nice freestander (217m/711ft from bottom to top, cabin at 150m/492ft)

i guess some swiss know which A i mean.

I wonder whether this A has ever been jumped. Well it's a AM-Tower with skull-signs all over it, but as far as i know they switched it off one or two years ago..

no that would be crazy. especially if you do it in a snowstorm and -15 degrees.

i'm not sure if i get it... did you...?

Don't understand you bro... Where I'm from that's perfectly normal weather for jumping freestanders. :D

And while freestanders are nowhere to be seen also a B will do.
But only if it feels right at the time. ;)

-38 is fine too. no problem. normal

I will not consider any outdoor activity whatsoever unless the temperature is at least +22 degrees centigrade with around 5% to 7% humidity, a clear blue sky, perhaps one or two clouds and a very, very gentle breeze blowing through the lush green palm trees and of course accompanied by my man servant by name George.
