Conrad Nagiah, Disabled Parachutist!
Conrad before the jump!
Hi my name is Conrad, I'm from South Africa
and I did my first tandem jump this Sunday past. It was the most AWESOME
experience of my life!! I have a C6/7 incomplete injury and now that the bug has
bitten in a big way, I am trying to find some way of doing a static line jump on
my own.
I'd be very grateful if you have any info if it can be done or if anyone has
done it before. I have partial movement in both legs, my right leg is weak, but
my left is pretty strong and I can stand up with slight assistance.
I did my tandem with Col Blignaut from 44 Parachute Brigade SA Army, two weeks
ago he did a tandem with another person from their unit from 35 000 feet!!!
They're still checking if its going to be a record.
Chute Deployed.
Unfortunately there are not many disabled people here down South that jump.. So I
don't know who else to ask.
Coming down.
I will be doing another tandem at the end of October, this time we're going to
strap my legs to the tandem masters, anyway I can't wait!!
Thanks in advance for any info you might have.
Cheers.
Conrad.
