I have given it a lot of thought to do a tandem jump, but I weigh 250 lb so I’m probably too heavy for it....... At least that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it! Plus I have mobility issues after having a stroke a few years ago.

A buddy of mine about your weight did a tandem jump a few years ago. He had done solos in the distant past, but lost his rating? The tandem jump had some issues. After the parachute deployed they spun around a bunch of times before the person operating the parachute got it under control..

After a certain age, we very blessed if we have happy memories of the adventuresome things we did in our younger years.
