Wing Walking

[4getmenot]

I don't know whether many people can answer this but I have been given the opportunity to go wing walking this year. But it is says you cannot take part if you have or do suffer from fainting fits and giddiness. Well I havent fainted for about 8 years when it occurred quite regularly and every now and then but I'd say about 3 times a year I get a bit dizzy when I get up but this is usually due to time of the month. Do you think I'd still be able to wing walk?

have asked mum and she says youre not allowed anyway sis. x

(i think the dizziness you have is linked to lack of potassium at that time of month so cant see it would be a problem, go ask the GP)

I hate flying though and I will be cacking my pants but for some reason it has been my dream to do it before I am 30

I'll give you �20 if you do it hun. Wont be watching though, just in case you puke on me :)

if you can't do it, i will do it for you! seriously, i would love to do it!

perhaps you could just take potassium, iron, multi vits etc before hand to ensure, and get the doc to write you a note to say he feels you are fit enough.

though if you fainted in the air it could be very dangerous - god knows what would happen to you, as although you are strapped in, you have stand firmly upright in a certain position etc
if your mouth was open and you were unconscious, the wind speed could make it very hard for you to breathe

are tandem ones possible?

good luck

Oh oh oh, how did you get to do that? I have wanted to have a go at wing walking for as long as I knew it was something you could do!!

I am friends with the person that runs the charity and when she said she was getting together people to do it I jumped at the chance.
