He's making a valid point. I see no whining.

I wanted t make an image, noticed I'd have to take more time than it was worth to make. Tried something else sorta close to what I was thinking and posted it. Then people say "It doesn't make sense." and hound me for an explanation. Well, I just explained it. I'd have done less work setting up the image how I originally wanted it. ._.

so anyway, do you have to be a certain age, that you aren't, to do it solo?
or do you just choose to go with the guy?

[Bones4]

I'm 21. Age is not an issue.

If I want to go solo, I have be be certified. The certification course is $1,200.

Yeah...

oh sweet jesus.
thats ridiculous, they should just have you sign a form saying that any injuries are yours to worry about and call it a day.

[RedGajin]

No.

No.

But skydiving is pretty expensive bro.

So basically, you write on a form saying "I don't know stuff, and if I die, which is likely, no one can be held accountable but myself for going there completely untrained."

That covers training costs, dude.

I did, however, take a scuba certification course. It was only $350, but I spent almost $1,000 total from buying equipment.

Good ol' ignorance. Flaring the chute properly when landing is very important. It takes training and repetition to be able to confidently land without killing yourself.

If you just go straight down, you can still break bones/damage organs/kill yourself.

Too far too long to find that... But I put the work into it I suppose. :/

then why the forget does media make it that simple.
I mean, that's one of the things that you really don't need to lie about for entertainment purposes.

Usually on television shows or such they just have to shorten it for purposes of time, but I really haven't seen it else where. Where else is it made out to be simple? :o

Regardless, good luck, Bones. Have fun, safety first, and please don't die. That would really be a downer. :c
