And then I learned there was no certificate.
Afterwards, I learned there was no certification to pack parachutes.
And certainly, you know, 12-year-olds shouldn't.
Wow.
The first day, well, it rained all weekend.
But the first day on the Saturday, by the time it was our turn to go, we go to the plane and it's too dark.
And the owner instructor, she tried to encourage the pilot to go up for one more time.
But he was very firm that, no, we're not going.
It's too late.
And before I continue, I want to say that I don't think that the people that own the skydiving school wanted anything bad to happen.
I think there were really good people running a business and that these things happen and that we got to learn from them and grow on.
But I have no problem pointing out the concerns that I have because we can all learn from them.
And I bet you they have too.
Yeah.
And then the second day, so we went home and we come back the next day and we went up with him playing in the morning and we were trying to get to 3,200 feet and we were at 2,200 ish.
And the pilot said, we can't go any further.
It's too cloudy.
And she was kind of pushing the pilot to go higher because she really wanted to drop us.
So then we had to land in the plane.
So the skydiving drop zone, the plane place, the airport, was about, I don't know, a few miles from the skydiving school.
