Anyway, skydiving is for wussies, static line is where the real pain is. (besides I'm sh1t scared if heights and 30 seconds was so much easier to endure than 2 minutes and in the dark you can't see the ground any way - landings were less painful though)
Cant beat the rush of a 300m static-line jump at night

300m - can't beat that.
600m is my lowest.
I tried the 14000 ft thing in Florida but after 3 solos I was told by my instructor that I would never make a skydiver while I had a hole in my ass. Silverback gorilla was mentioned !
God was I relieved !
I was talked into it by a fellow ex trooper.
