Tandem skydiving -- what Triplicata was doing -- is even safer, with one student death per , tandem jumps in the past decade, according to USPA. Jeanna will never get to walk across the stage at her high school graduation, which was rescheduled for the end of July because of the pandemic.
She won't get to attend the University of North Georgia. She won't become an English teacher, like her father said she aspired to do. Triplicata said it tears at his heart that he won't get to see the person his eldest child would have become. Triplicata, 43, described Jeanna as an atypical teenager. He said his daughter was "special" and she never gave her mother and father trouble. When we bought her first car, she didn't want anything flashy or that would stand out.
The teen had just graduated from Northgate High School, where she was on the color guard team. She was the captain her senior year and she enjoyed performing alongside her brother, year-old Giovanni, who was in the band. Jeanna was obsessed with singer-songwriter Harry Styles. She had seen one of his concerts and was set to attend another one next year, which was postponed because of the coronavirus.
She was wearing a Harry Styles shirt the day she went skydiving, her father said. Her other passions included Disney's "The Little Mermaid," even though it wasn't the coolest thing for an "elder teen" to like, her dad said.
She was also a big "Grey's Anatomy" fan, always trying to get her parents to watch it, which they never did. Jeanna was very close with her grandmother, Renee Sands. She would sleep over at her grandmother's and they'd watch "Grey's Anatomy" together. Jeanna and her grandmother, Renee Sands, went skydiving together.
Sands and Jeanna went skydiving together on Sunday. It was another adventure for the two of them to do and something that Jeanna had wanted to do for years. Sure, skydiving carries a risk of death. However: While that risk exists, it needs to be taken in context. The deeper truth will out.
Skydivers most definitely, without a doubt want to live. How did the myth get started that skydivers have a death wish? What do we mean? Well: Nothing could be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, skydivers love life so much that we eagerly chase it down. We dig into life with gusto, like Winnie the Pooh into his jar of honey, our arm in there up to the elbow.
Everyone understands that, in order to make a significant gain from an investment, you have to risk some capital. With us still? Looked at from that perspective, you can see that the calculated, intelligent acceptance of measured risks is the only way to get a real return.
By that figuring, skydiving is a downright brilliant investment. As a matter of fact, the risk of dying skydiving is not only more manageable than ever before in history , with modern equipment, better training, and stringent aviation safety requirements on our side, your risk of dying skydiving is significantly statistically less than your risk of dying as you drive to and from the dropzone. You can check out the carefully-gathered statistics for yourself. And what are the returns on that investment?
When you skydive for the first time, you can expect to ride a wave of joy, empowerment and megawatt excitement from the moment you step out the door of that plane—and it often lasts for weeks!
Big changes come much more easily; stagnant lives come unstuck. And, if you spend a little more time at the dropzone perhaps, say, in learning to skydive solo? You can ask any skydiver to confirm that statement. They will. You do, however, owe it to yourself to look at the skydiving safety statistics and show yourself how much you have to gain by leaping past that fear and out the door of a plane. So many people are afraid of the possibility of meeting their lunch again if you catch our drift that they think it wise to skip meals altogether before skydiving.
These are the same folks that are unwittingly tipping the scales toward having a less than stellar time on their skydive. Your body needs a steady level of glucose to keep you feeling alert. Skipping meals can wreak havoc on your blood sugar levels. The combination of adrenaline dump and low blood sugar can leave you feeling woozy and, in extreme cases, can cause you to pass out.
For some, it is not intuitive how to breathe while skydiving. As you probably know, the brain needs a healthy flow of oxygen in order for you to remain conscious, but some people hold their breath without even realizing it.
To keep this from happening to you, try to concentrate on your inhales and exhales, focusing on the feeling of air filling your lungs. This practice will ensure you keep breathing and may even help to settle your nerves a bit. If you are feeling sick, push your skydive to another day. When it comes to an enjoyable skydiving experience, it is better to be firing on all cylinders than puttering along.
There is no activity on earth that is fun with a hangover. In fact, most things are considerably worse with a hangover. Skydiving is one of those things. Because of the dehydration that a heavy night of drinking causes, individuals who skydive with a hangover put themselves at an increased risk of passing out while skydiving.
It is best to forgo a night of drinking before your skydive.
