advice my skydiving
Hi,
I am 28 and planning to do my first skydive on Sunday. When I was 20, I had a lumbar laminectomy for L4-L5 rupture leading to severe leg pain. I have fully recovered and no issues the last 8 years. I have lost 20 pounds and in pretty decent fitness. I just want to get some advice on whether I should do it and any good suggestions. Thank you for your replies. So excited!!!!!!!1 )Yogesh

IMHO, if you are fully recovered 8 years... the question is about the safety of skydiving... not about being a spine patient.
If you would participate in other physical activities... riding motorcyles in desert, water skiing, etc... then you are accepting the relative risks of the activities. A normal skydive with normal opening and normal landing is something that old folks do all the time with no issues. George Bush 1 just celebrated 85th birthday with a skydive. Abnormal opening... malfunction... abnormal landing all increase the risk of injury. IMHO, the risks are manageable... but not everyone agrees. Mark
