Fear @12,000ft...The Mad Cow Disease

Taupo...A huge Lake that acts as your concrete safety net when your hurled from a plane at 12,000ft and your 'chute doesnt open.Oh yes,its MegaTerror at altitude.A bunch of us signed up for the Skydive.Strapped to an Instructor the size of a fridge i was crammed into a tiny plane alongside Sol,Collette,Jon and Matt.The Fear hit me once we reached our jump altitude.Tongue like a stick and the belly on heavy rotation.Sol was in front of me and i saw her sucked from the cabin at speed,her scream twisting my spine and wiping the rictus grin from my face.And then i was out too,falling at 200kmph the word Fuuuuuuu left somewhere far above me.Its 55 seconds of freefall Kinghell rush...
With the Adrenalin surging we hit the town like a 1000lb Shithammer,monging ourselves stupid in the Holy Cow club,necking everything we could hold down to try and at least...level off the Madness.Satan met me in the Bar."Hello Andy" he said."Sweet Jeezus!!!"i said."I know we had a deal,but i didnt think you'd collect so soon!".And then he whipped off the mask.It was Nick,my buddy from the Stinkhole.That just about finished me off...
