Conundrum 1 #4 May 5, 2005 I didn't, Dennis did, but I was right there. After the exit funneled, we got it back together quickly and the dive went perfectly. This is the ashes being released, kind of hard to see though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #5 May 5, 2005 Ahh...funnelling an ash dive. When we dumped our friend Jan and her dad's ashes, Bozimbo (Bozo on here) fell out of the skydive right out of the door, taking Jan with him. I swear I could hear her cackling at him as we all gave chase. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #7 May 5, 2005 There's a story at my DZ the old timers tell about a guy who went in twice. He was killed going in and on his ash dive he was dropped and went in again. I don't think they tried a third time.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I wonder if it was the videographer dude who got on the plane to do a tandem, climbed out for the exit, and jumped, then at freefall's end, reaches back to pull, only to realize he left his rig on the ground! If it was him, I'd call that poetic justice, or strange karma...

Bolas 5 #9 May 5, 2005 No, I know the DZ that happened at. I have heard of some TM's tell stories about catching their videographers without rigs on.

Ian ended up "inhaling" a fair bit of the little frenchman when they dumped the ashes. I swear I heard his little girly laugh too ...

livendive 8 #11 May 5, 2005 QuoteIan ended up "inhaling" a fair bit of the little frenchman when they dumped the ashes. I swear I heard his little girly laugh too ... Ha ha! I got a bit of flak for wearing a full-face helmet on Jan's ash dive, but then got to watch a guy get a mouth full of her dad (we dumped him on the same jump). I think my statement at the time was, "I know we skydivers are supposed to eat our dead, but Jan's a little over-cooked for my taste." Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

bob.dino 1 #18 May 6, 2005 A camera guy at my DZ has gotten on the plane without his rig. The 4-way he was filming let him sit down before asking him if his chest strap was done up properly. Apparently he went white as a sheet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
