Hi all:
I have a patient/client who uses Bil TT endo's w/ pin suspension (no sleeves) who will be doing his first skydiving jump (a Father's Day present from his wife and son). At the very least, I will suggest that he apply suspension sleeves for this event. Specifically, I would be concerned about the slipstream pulling on the prostheses as he exits the door w/ his jumpmaster. He will be wearing a jumpsuit.
Any suggestions/experiences would be very welcome.
