Sean Strickland Just Found a New Hobby 🤯
Sean Strickland recounts his first skydiving experience after talking to a Navy SEAL, during which he had a frightening spinning incident that nearly caused him to lose consciousness. He describes the physical discomfort of the experience and attempts clay pigeon shooting afterward with mixed results.
Summary
Sean Strickland describes attempting skydiving for the first time after a conversation with a Navy SEAL who suggested it would be fun. During the jump, Strickland experienced a violent spinning incident caused by his own inflexibility and poor form when reaching for his ripcord. As he dipped his shoulder to grab the cord, he entered an uncontrolled spin that frightened him significantly. During the spin, he consciously fought to stay awake and maintain consciousness, fearing he might pass out. A Navy SEAL accompanying him explained that the spinning sensation was caused by blood rushing to his head rather than pure fear. When Strickland landed, a woman observing the jump told him he was seconds away from death. After the skydiving experience, Strickland and his companion attempt clay pigeon shooting, with mixed success—he misses one shot but hits both targets on the second attempt.
