NWFlyer 2 #5 August 14, 2006 All it took was a little googling - this was on the CBN front page. This is not an incident I've ever heard about at Snohomish or around the area, though it could have been before my time (the article is a little confusing as to timeline and a bit vague on dates), or maybe the incident took place elsewhere and he did his recent jump there (sounds like he just did another jump, perhaps a tandem, after having a leg amputated). Says the guy is from Bellingham, WA. http://www.cbn.com/700club/features/amazing/ben_quinn081406.aspx (Edit to add: there's video - it's about 2/3 of the way into the clip of today's show. It shows him packing - that's definitely at Snohomish, so he's jumping there now (I haven't been there in months, so I'm definitely out of the loop). The video seems to imply the incident happened at Snohomish, but it doesn't say specifically that it did. Like I said, it's not an incident I've ever heard about in the area. And...

Lindercles 0 #6 August 14, 2006 A little more googling reveals that it happened in Lodi, California in August of 2004. The other party, Marvell Strawn, was killed in the incident. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimblair13 0 #7 August 14, 2006 QuoteJust out of curiosity, what would the 700 club be saying about skydiving? Basically that with God this dude that got hurt was able to jump again even after losing his leg. QuoteA little more googling reveals that it happened in Lodi, California in August of 2004. It said Washington and showed Snohomish's cessna that says "Skydive Snohomish" right on it. And showed footage of their outside packing area. I was watching it cuz 700 club is THE SHIT!! Not really...I think it was just on...I only get 3 channels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimblair13 0 #8 August 14, 2006 Yeah it was a little weird. Those crazy 700 club freaks. They made it sound like he got fucked up there and then jumped again. But yeah, he must have got fucked up at Lodi then made his comeback jump at Snohomish. Good for him though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
