ManBird 0 #4 April 29, 2004 Good question. An airborne Corvette is not a fixed object. Well... the Corvette went off a fixed object. Kind of like ditching skis on a BASE jump."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering why most of the skydiving stuff seemed accurate. Following Manbird's lead, I edited Ferrari to Corvette. EDIT: Man the ramifications of this public edit thing are mindboggling for troublemakers. I'm having urges to look up and modify major entries to be comically wrong...

I thought the movie was pretty good. Exiting off their camera booms after hours was pretty fun, too.
