Back when I was a noob jumper, I spent a lot of jumps experimenting with arms back, head down top speed runs. I'm guessing I hit maybe 175mph or so. The sensation of sweeping your arms back and feeling the acceleration from 120mph on up is pretty cool. Anyway, on one of my early high speed runs, it was time to pull at 4500', so I went full stop and pulled wayyyyyy too early. I guess I was still going pretty fast at the time. It hurt like hell when the chute opened, and a couple days later about 1/3 of my body was black and purple - around my middle section and everywhere around where the rig strapped to my body. That sucked.
