Hypoxia: Skydiving at 21000 feet.

So, we went skydiving, and they had some special loads that would go extra high. Usually we jump at 12000 feet, but this one went all the way to 21000 feet. But something appeared to be wrong with the oxygen system in the cabin, or something other happened why we didn't got enough oxygen. Anyway, I passed out, my friend woke up at 12000 feet falling to the earth, after he unknowingly jumped out. Neither of us can remember the jump, but we got it on video. I made a jump the same day, about an hour after this event, but we both got pounding headaches afterwards, so we left the dropzone to rest and have a better day the next day. Also, I've always doubted about posting this, since I really don't want this to be used to 'blame' anyone for doing something wrong, but rather be seen as a lesson to others about the effects as to prevent further similar incidents. Anyway, I'm sticking to 15k now... having way too much fun with 8-way RW.
