cameramonkey 0 #1 August 24, 2006 I'm sure its probably been covered here before, but in case it hasnt... First time AFF ends up under his reserve (due to his stupidity) and then lands in power lines. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKJtui3ukZc what a tool! The best part of it for me? his quote" I definitely wont be skydiving again." at least he has SOME sense. Spoiler below for those that cant watch it... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Its a video from a realtv type show, I think Maximum exposure. guy goes for his first AFF. does OK at first, until main instructor struggles to get him to pull his own hacky. As the instructor keeps trying to get his hand back to the BOC, he keeps going for his cutaway. at some point he actually GETS the cutaway and pulls. Instructor doesnt see this apparently and dumps the main, which immediately departs the area. Guy gets unstable from the partial deployment, and starts "turtling" Instructors chase him and he finally gets his silver. But wait, there's more.... he manages to land in power lines, resulting in 3rd degree burns of his leg(s) requiring skin grafts.Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO!

Butters 0 #5 August 24, 2006 Watch again. Look at his face when he finally pulls the cutaway handle. He appears to have a large smile. (Must have been so pleased with himself.) To bad they don't have tests to determine if you are a "Lutz"."That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
