Poles hate Russians

Thankfully, I was able to hide what transpired because no one saw me.I walked back to the company's office - I was lucky enough to land in a bush, so I didn't break anything - and told them I had stopped by my car and dropped off my parachute, because I wanted to keep it. As we were headed home, my wife asked where it was, and I told her I changed my mind and gave it back to them.

Someone had to eventually notice the parachute in the tree, heh. But it never got back to me.

Interesting, but since when do skydiving outfits just allow you to keep their expensive gear? They just bought your story, no questions asked?

I've never heard of jumpers that weren't held accountable for replacing lost / cutaway equipment, and it seems even rarer that they'd allow someone to take it home.

Oh, they "didn't let me keep it". I paid for it - my pride cost me $1,600 dollars, lol.. I apologize; I left out many details I jufged as nonessential or implied in the interest of brevity. because I was typing on my phone. Which is also why my post is full of typos.
