Pieces of Eight is an all-amputee skydiving team. Everyone who is a part of the team is missing at least one of their limbs and/or an eye.
I joined Pieces of Eight in 2001 but have been a skydiver since 1997. The people who make up Pieces of Eight are a wonderful group with a fabulous outlook on life. I feel so privileged to be a part of it. The camaraderie is fantastic.
This past October we tried to break the old world record (of 14) with a 17-way. Although we all had a blast, we were unable to accomplish the task. When you put together a group of people in the sky with different appendages missing and different skill levels, it creates additional "issues" which makes for more interesting diving. Just deciding where to place each person in the formation, keeping in mind their missing part, is a challenge all its own. We all go at it with an upbeat attitude and work with each skydive as it plays out. --Amy Plagge
