I think she's nuts, she almost died last month, the only reason she lived was because her jumping partner hadn't pulled his shoot yet and was able to get to her in time. She was using a relatively new shoot and it broke. BUT, for one near death experience out of 4,000+, that's pretty good odds.
I'd post pictures of her wind suit, but you can see her face, and I'm not sure she would appreciate it :)
Here is a picture she took of the Women's Texas State Record, it's my favorite of her pictures

Ah here's one, my cousin's windsuit is really sweet, but all the pictures with her are on the ground with her face since she's the camera gal in the sky.

To the OP I think you are nuts, but if you live anywhere near TX or CO I can hook you up, lol.
Edit: Just looked, uh oh....you are from TX!!!!
Lol yup, I live in Texas.

If I'm not mistaken, this is for the experienced parachutist. I think this is the next step after you've gotten bored with just falling to Earth.
The family is going to visit my son in Daytona Beach this Summer and we all are going to go parachuting.
