WTF

Recommended Posts

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!

There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

Are you talking about the Mike Holmes incident ?

what you clearly identify as a reserve is a Velocity (84?) :|

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?

Anybody have a link to the interview. I saw the one with leno. It was a joke. They show the video and when he hits the ground everybody just laughs. wtf is that. why would you laugh at that. but leno sucks anyway so i guess thats why. why is he still on tv. no talent.

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'. :S
