Zoo

Recommended Posts

So, this is so-not-worth postin' in the skydiving forums, so I thought I would ask the people hangn' out at the fire, what does a "zoo dive" mean and where does the term come from...

I searched and found little clear cut results.

a zoo dive generally means that the dive goes to shit, with people flailing about like idiots. It usually refers to larger dives. Maybe a circus dive would be a better description.

A: how did your dive go?

B: It was a freakin' zoo

imagine running through the zoo and unlocking all the animal cages.......



How appropriate... My 4way team name is Caged Animals...

Ok, so it is not like lurking a dive where you are watching whatever is going on, but, it could be like a 4way gone bad or a freefly gone bad where the sky is full of random unplanned shit...????

Got it... Different terms at different DZs... We would just use the "went to shit" line...

So, now that this thread has momentum, what is your best zoo dive story?

Another apt description is being in a 16-person magic carpet out of the back of a C-130, about 1 second after hitting the prop wash:o:ph34r:
