More Skydivers' Stories: Close Calls & Epic Feats Above Planet Earth

If you enjoyed our first book, NSTIWTIWGD, you're going to love this companion volume of more skydiving stories. New adventures, more thrills, and scary mishaps in our aerial playground.Every skydive, no matter how routine it may seem, is a unique experience. It begins with the familiar rush of air on exit, and your body accelerates through the sky. Often a jump involves playing in the air with others, dancing through formations and watching a number of smiling faces. Then there is the conventional separation where you clear your airspace and deploy your canopy.At this point the bliss begins to fade as you anticipate opening shock. If something goes wrong, you know it right away, and a story will begin where ecstasy can quickly turn to terror. The tales you'll read within these pages have happy and sometimes humorous endings. These are the kinds of skydives you could never forget; the stories are told by the skydivers who actually experienced them. They are all true. This compilation of stories is a labor of love by its collaborators—Tim Long, Doug Garr, Michael Kearns and Jan Works—and is intended to entertain their fellow skydivers and friends. Profits from the book's sale will be donated to building and maintaining the International Skydiving Museum & Hall of Fame.
