My friend Diane L sent me a thought provoking email about Who’s packing your parachute?. This reminded me about the tandem skydive I made from a perfectly good aeroplane – 10,000 feet above the reef and rainforest of Cairns back in 1999! I must say I was relieved that my instructor had safely completed over 3000 jumps and he actually repacked our chute because he wasn’t content with the way it had been prepared by someone else!
