The "jumping" isn't the problem..it's the LAANDING...the danger is, for old folks..bones are brittle..even a slight mislanding..can result in a broken limb, or hip..and that's a long painful healing process..bones don't knit well at that age..you can often develope infections in the bone..thta's why the risk/reward % for a jump at that age doesn't compute..

I heard he is jumping with the Army's Golden Knights -- boy do they have a big responsibility with this jump. He is landing at A&M right?

Does anyone know if there will any coverage when they get to the library tonight? I know they said private burial but I didn't catch any mention of coverage. I need it straight sometimes.

I don't like heights so for me, the jump 'would' be the issue! lol I understand about the landing. Maybe he should consider bungee instead? :)
