The Freefall Game

The Freefall Game is a true story set mainly in the North West England during the 1980's. It describes the authors descent into "adrenaline addiction" as he attempts to become a qualified skydiver. The story moves from the curious first time jumper to someone who tests jumps a smoke damaged parachute for fun, or in other words from the merely inexplicable to the really wild and crazy. It is also the tale of some remarkable characters, a good deal of partying and a continuous sense of humour, which was used to ward off the ever present danger of "bouncing"or "going in".
