Another "How to Survive Freefall Landing" Article

Recommended Posts

There was a story in the late '60s or early 70s about a guy who committed suicide. He tracked for the pea gravel, over shot, turned around and came back, Missed by 10 yards. Weather he was yelling, "Take pictures!!!" was not confirmed.:)

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.
Louis D Brandeis

Where are we going and why are we in this basket?

Dayum...You beat me to it, I just read this this morning (In my library) adn was going to try andd find it on line!

BUT,, they Did make one correction, on that Bazai skydiver, they said th eRecord was for it to take him 50 seconds to get to his rig..NOT "Waited" 50 seconds...Now that, might well have happened!

But how they discribe "How to survive" especially to people that have never stepped into freefall, Kept me laughing!
