let's go to this week's board of directors, susan is the founder of sbtv.com and paul lewis founded five companies, both regulars on the show. >> thanks, j.j. >> the first thing i thought of is how can you give one guy a discount of $5 and someone else a discount of $10? aren't they going to find out and get mad? >> there's a problem with that. everybody is going to talk. if you give one person a different deal and they talk, the person paying more money is going to get angry. >> they said none of the full paying kcustomers are upset abot it. >> it may be true. the risk you run is number one, once you cut your price, it's hard to go back up. secondly, what are you going to do when people look at you and say if you can give me a 20% discount now and still make money, weren't you gouging me all along? look at how you might be able to give a scaled back offering. let's say unlimited usage at the gym, maybe certain days of the week, only certain facilities. make smaller chunks or packages people find affordable, but stay within their membership. >> there's a marketing per speck tiff to use i

paul lewis said he's made 660 jumps by the middle of august when he was in the air for a british skydiving souvenir video for a novice jumper with the camera mounted on his helmet. as these things go the first 10 seconds of his trip were just fine. >> unfortunately when i deployed my main parachute, things went horribly wrong. a skydiver always knows especially if they took the same canopy where whether the opening felt right or wrong and mine felt awful. >> reporter: the main parachute hadn't fully deployed. he cut it free and falling fast, he deployed his reserve parachute, which also failed to properly unfold. >> i looked up at my canopy closed my eyes and very very calmly thought to myself it's all over. >> reporter: with to control over his decent and just limited braking pow, lewis says he blacked out. so we'll tell you his reserve chute luckily guided him to a hard landing on a relatively flexible metal roof with neck and arm injury, but no broken bones. but he says it was his last jump. >> i just feel if i jump again, i'm pushing that luck too far. >> reporter: so what went wrong?
