woodpecker 0 #1 May 30, 2007 I saw the interview (cant remember who was doing in...barbara walters or someone) with the jumper who landed in the bush. WTF is all I have to say. All the reports and said he had NO CANOPY and in the vid he clearly had a reserve over his head. Though it was spinning wildly. Then his jump partner (a videot) is says some crap about how hard it is to drive a canopy and land off. (not exact but close) Does ignorant interviews from jumpers upset anyone else or is it just me? Maybe I'm wrong (since I've never had a mal) but if I believe that if I had a mal, I would at least have the facts correct. Hell, even the title of the interview was wrong..."skydiver survives 4000ft fall"? When did he fall, he had a canopy over his head. Rant over.....flame away!SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #2 May 30, 2007 Are you talking about the Mike Holmes incident ? Quote he clearly had a reserve over his head. Rant over.....flame away! what you clearly identify as a reserve is a Velocity (84?) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodpecker 0 #3 May 30, 2007 My fault.....I saw a white canopy and figured since there was a mal (though not sure what the mal was now) that it was a reserve. Now I'm even more confused. Thanks for the clarification! If anyone saw this interview, did it piss you off too, or is it just me?SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

I'm pretty sure they thought it was like a 'bloopers' thing with the worst that could happen being bruises and scratches... Otherwise there are some f*cking sick people out there. Then again, have you seen some of those 'Funniest Home Videos'? I'm thinking there are some sick people out there...seeing what some people thought was 'funny'. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
