I have several friends who have been diagnosed due to bad landings (feet, a$$, head) etc. I myself have been knocked myself out on a jump. (Hit a 5 ton dump on Sicily DZ) lol

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why? We know what happens when the chute opens and the riggers didn't pull out the stones and branches, or when your head slams into the ground on a 25 knot jump, or...<br /><br />I will volunteer to take the money if offered for a study, though.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It should but that shouldn't mean that we stop jumping. <br />Being in the military is risky, being a paratrooper is even more risky. Lets get the data, be informed and if you don't like the risk don't volunteer!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>PFC Glen King, and I thought that TBI were required before you could be a parachutist.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes. You can only do so many feet-ass-head landings. Especially on a runway. That's aside from a trooper slamming into the side of a vehicle, a tree, or other DZ obstacle. Helmets are ballistic protection, not a motorcycle helmet.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes you can hit your head. It is bad for your health. <br /><br />Next question.
