Thoughts on non-opening parachutes…

With 95 hours until my first jump, I started reading some stuff (maybe I shouldn't) regarding what can go wrong. This one (http://www.wikihow.com/Survive-if-Your-Parachute-Fails-to-Open) stroke me as especially motivating and positive.

With that in mind, here are my next steps before the jump. I hope they will be of some use for future first time jumpers, but maybe some regulars can also take some ideas from it:

By no special order:
1. Write down (and give it to someone trustworthy) all my passwords;
  – Websites with important/interesting information (bookmarks, business stuff, online banking, bank investments, etc.);
  – Blogs;
  – Email accounts.
2. Write down important document numbers;
  – Identity card;
  – Taxes;
  – Bank cards.
3. Kiss and hug as much people I love as I can before the jump;
4. I don't think it's time for me to write a will, so I think everyone can just fight for my stuff. Consider it a last request ;D

So, to sum it up for now, excitement is building up and I'm sure it will only get worse/better over the next few days. I am absolutely sure that the jump will be amazing and something I will never forget, for the rest of my life. The adrenalin that will go through my brain will be incredible, I can imagine, and the silence that will follow the parachute's deployment will surely be heavenly.
