They showed three of them missing the landing area:S

Wonder if any of them had pro-ratings?



lol....one hit a car! The groom snagged a tree??? What happened to the other one? Crashed next to the road???? Too funny....

Actually, it wasn't that funny given that the one groomsman was hurt (I was at the wedding).

Yes, they had their ERJ's (Cdn equivalent of a Pro-Rating) and went through all the proper channels to do the demo but they used poor judgement (IMHO)when the winds picked up (the facility that hosted the reception is located in a valley next to the river).

And yes, the groom snagged a tree, the one groomsman landed next to the road and the other one on a friend's car. The only one to hit the landing area (a parking area left clear for the demo) was the cameraman on the load.

And since you asked, the wedding was lovely and the food was great and we did go visit the ailing groomsman and took along some jello shots - just in case!

I'm glad to hear they did all the proper stuff to set up the demo, but it isn't over till everyone is safe on the ground. Using good judgment should be part of the check list before a demo happens.

I'm also glad that everyone recovered.

The tumor was caused by medical problems.

Why don't you do some research before trying to be funny. Some times it's not cool to try and be funny.



Thanks for the back up Mar. Sometimes it's just inappropriate to try to be funny.

I actually watched the whole show, it was pretty interesting. That bungee jump guy is damn lucky to be alive, though he did seem a little on the dumb side.
