I'm like, oh, you're a child.
Baby.
Little baby didn't know the world that well.
Yeah, super normal.
I had done bungee jumping once, and even that was scary and fun and a thrill, but...
not something i would do all the time i think just your everyday adrenaline seeker uh you know bucket list do it once cool tick it off the list never really thought twice about it uh but at that time in my life in 2013 i had just come out maybe six months earlier had gone to a brand new relationship and had never been in love before so there were all these amazing feelings going on
And I was still living in the country at the time with my parents.
And I was looking at moving to the city because I'd just gotten a job at a commercial radio station in Melbourne.
And that was my foot in the door as a producer for a breakfast radio show for commercial network.
So my life was about to begin, really.
All this hard work I'd put into myself, into my career, everything was aligning perfectly.
And I was just on the precipice of just feeling really solid in my life and who I was.
So when it came to the day of the accident,
I did feel some anxiety and I felt some fear and some jitters, but I put that down to just anticipating what I was about to do, which was jump from a plane.
But also in typical Brad fashion, I brought my entire family there.
We're a very close, tight-knit group.
So I had my mom, my dad, my three sisters, their husbands, and my niece and nephew, and my boyfriend at the time.
It was a beautiful intention, but it ended up being quite tragic having them all there.
Even when we got to the airport, there were all these delays.
They kept saying, oh, we're going to have to push a jump, push a jump.
