I've always thought skydiving would be awesome, but ever since I passed out on a rollercoaster when I was in middle school I've shyed away from extreme things.
I've never personally skydived, but know it is possible for PWDs to do so. I know for sure you can tandem jump and even believe it is possible to go solo with training.
I've just been googling and found several forums/sites with information about skydiving with a disability (and the sites weren't exclusively devoted to skydiving with a disability, either.)
Have you ever discussed your desire with your family? How did they start jumping? From what I read it's important that you're in generally good health (excluding your CP) and are not on meds that impede your ability to understand what you are doing.
GOOD LUCK!! Let us know how it goes!!
