Hi Dudes,
In Dec 2002 I was flying AeroCommanders doing bank runs with GAM. I was based in Adelaide. I fell off a motorbike in late Dec and broke my back and damaged my spinal cord. I got a huge amount of support from ppruners at the time. Thank you guys. here is the post from back then

So since then I have been in a wheelchair as i cant move or feel anything from my waist down. Before my accident I had skydived 37 times and last week I became the first licenced paraplegic skydiver in Australia and the 2nd in the world.
Here is the vid of my last jump

Next week i am going to NZ to do the first solo paraplegic skydive there. I also want to get across to the US and be the first there too!
Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi, i had many great mates on pprune and thought id let you know what im doing.
I am also writing a book at the moment called "Dealing with sh!t" and it will be a good read for you pilots!
Rock on!
Dale
