Good luck.

So, I guess you'll have a static line since its your first jump...or will you pull the rip cord your self?

It must be cold in the U.K, its about 17F during the day here in Canada.

Ever heard of strop failure? Or the Irish parachute packer? True with static line the odds are better.... But it's still a dangerous game!
