The Accident – The Testimony of Mickey Robinson

The Accident – The Testimony of Mickey Robinson

It was just another hot August night to the four men and myself who were all set to make a routine parachute jump. Flying conditions were poor, due to the combination of intense heat and high humidity. I wasn’t concerned though, I was a professional skydiver and had worked in a demonstration team before crowds of thousands. Not all in the plane were as relaxed as I was. It was one man’s first jump; for another it was only his forth. Skydiving was my life – nothing else mattered. It had won my heart since I witnessed a display by a Parachuting School. the progression, from my first jump to my first free – fall, was rapid. I was obsessed – no amount of time or money was too much to spend. Eventually I was jumping with some of the world’s best skydivers.
