Your body is dumping cortisol in preparation for fight or flight...or something to that extent.

The PJD is probably less controversial than a tailgate as far as its place in BASE.

Pre-Jump Dump

In 2002 I had to go 5 times before my first tandem
then at least once for my first hundred SKY jumps,
till eventually the fear response had fully ended.

In 2006 I had to shit before every BASE jump at
least once and this continued for a few hundred.

If sufficiently scared causes
Involuntary Stress Reaction
50% will void bladder (piss)
25% will void bowels (shit)

That's 25% of the time, 25% of people, or something else?

Here in the land down under the 'nervous piss' is more common! Still gets me 75% of the time!
