I just finished "killing myself" at the gym and walked out to the car. A helicopter landed about 100 yards in front of me and put someone on it. I couldn't tell if they were from a car or walking, but it was something. With all these "older" people running, playing tennis,ect. I guess it can be expected. I kind of felt like hitching a ride myself.

All these "older" people And just what do you call us It about scares you to death to see that huh, at least you now know help is close by if you continue to "kill yourself" at the gym.

egads I am one of those older people.. that had to be scary, and I agree, at least they were not coming for you.

Believe me, I am one of them. I just had 4 good friends pass away in the last two months. So, I am glad I can walk out of the gym and not have the copter take me away.

I know that was wild to see for sure! Helicopters are big and noisy! Not something you would expect casually leaving the gym and all.

I am so sorry to hear about your friends passing {hugs}. It is good you are taking care of yourself and getting excercise. I have to exercise every day of my life per doctor's orders, ugh! I am proud of you for sure for getting out there and doing it!

@ them not coming for you even though you felt like it! Remember, rest is as equally important as excercising !

I think if my brother had a helicopter lift he would have made it . I don't know if they did that as much as they do today, back then.

I have something funny to share with you that I remember . On the highway in the county, there is an airport. I was getting off the exit - you know on that circle type exit where you lean to one side fo the car for awhile as you get onto the regular road ...and lo and behold in my windshield just about - the full windeshiled I saw a plane and its nose !!!! It scared me and I get goosebumps still when I talk about it. I didn't know what to do so I just kep driving like a dummy...it went above me! Now that I think of it I should have put on the breaks and jumped (which I don't recommend anyone do at all!)! It scared me to death all plane I saw in the windshield (commuter type plane). Never had that happen, but that plane filled my windshield coming straight at me - saw nothing but it !

We had a medical helicopter go down this week, it killed the pilot and one nurse and the other nurse is in critical condition. Looking at pictures of the crash on the tv I can't imagine how one person survived as there was nothing left of it.

As for the gym, according to the doctor walking is too high impact for my back so not much left for me to do. I had to laugh when he told me that as walking is sort of something you need to do every day.

You should have just jumped up and grabbed onto one of the skids! lol
