Tai Chi and Skydiving

I'm teaching TaiChi at a new venue. It reminds me of my elementary school. They are showing a "movie" in what was my P.E. and Health room in my elementary school (Windsor). The movie is an overview of everything being offered at the new space. The Tai Chi video is awful. Cheesy and incorrect. There's another healer there - Michael - who does some kind of body work/energy healing. I think I'm a bit attracted to him. I definitely care what he thinks after watching the Tai Chi video. I go over to him to tell him how terrible the video is and that it doesn't represent how I teach or what I do. The video keeps playing and I see him on the screen, working on someone. The video shows him in a very good light. New scene where Michael now seems to be a young teenage boy - this might be a "scenes from his life" kind of thing that I'm watching. He's very active and a dare devil. There are shots of him riding bikes through canyons and other "active" scenes. I think to myself that he looks like he's having so much fun and I should be more adventurous. Then Michael is in a paraglider with another guy his age - his friend. They let go of the paraglider and begin skydiving. Neither of them has ever skydives before. They are diving tandem, with Michael on top. They struggle to keep their bodies flat as they fall and to stay connected together. I watch and wonder if they will be able to get their chutes open. Michael starts to flip over. The other guy is trying to hold onto him. They finally land. A rough landing. We can't really see them land because there are tents all around, but we see Michael get up and walk away, his pants torn and bloody.
