Memorable challenge

By LieutenantDimwit - 11/08/2026 12:00 - Egypt - Giza

Today, I challenged myself and went skydiving! However, I made the mistake of doing so on an empty stomach. I made it through the freefall, and through most of the canopy bit, until low-blood-sugar induced dizziness made me blackout on final approach. I still remember most of it, but now I feel emasculated. FML

I appreciate it <3 I’ve come to terms with the fact that it was a physiological thing that I couldn’t control in the moment, as opposed to a reflection of who I am as a person. The feeling lingered for a few days but I’m fine now. Thanks for the kind words!

don't be too hard on yourself, you would not be the first person that fainted whilst skydiving. At least you were skydiving solo.
