| Article Title :: Danger Equals A Water Powered Parachutes Jump In An Extreme
Situation |
| |
|
A water powered parachute jump is primarily executed in
emergency situations only. During this jump, the jumper prepares
as he might for any other jump. The real difference between this
jump and another is that he lands in the water. Water parachute
jumping isn't really something for members of the general public
to engage in, as it offers extra dangers that traditional
jumping does not. Water parachute jumping must take place in
water of appropriate depths. Landing in water that is too
shallow can cause spinal cord injuries and drowning. As a
result, typically only emergency personnel and members of the
armed services complete water parachute jumping.

KNITTING...A LIFE LONG SISTERHOOD OR A STORY OF RUTH
By
Karen A. Lech
Her hair was the wispy white of unpsun wool. Her blue eyes were
lit up like 4th of July fireworks. Her bent shoulders were
covered with a hand-knit shawl and she sat in her wheelchair,
watching. Her arthritic hands were moving together rapidly and
the smile on her face was one of pure bliss. I was oblivious of
her presence until... "Excuse me" a voice said. I looked up,
startled. I was sitting in a hospital lobby, waiting for my
sister who was having some tests done. I, being the shoulder to
lean on, was there for her. I was preoccupied with my knitting
and did not even notice the people sitting around me also
