AndyAnderson 0 #1 June 13, 2004 Put all the most bizzare things together on one day and you would think Tarrintino just remade "Cutaway". Watch the forums and let the feeding begin. Yes he was wearing a helmet, and his wingloading varied. I will say more if there arn't too many dumb questions and when I know more. There is one lucky fellow out there tonight! Andy.

bmcd308 0 #10 June 14, 2004 To fully understand how freaky this was, you need to remember the following: 1. premature reserve deployment 2. reserve malfunction 3. main deployment with line twists 4. main reserve entanglement 5. downplane - main reserve entanglement - downplane - reserve-main-reserve entanglement - stable side by side with partial reserve in tow - downplane 6. landing a downplane EDITED TO ADD - Oh, yeah, 6 1/2. Landed a downplane 10 feet from power lines. BACK TO OUR PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM - 7. survival of incredibly horrific landing 8. attacked by snakes I left one out. 8 1/2. Rescue worker stops to hit on the girl waiting at the gate by the field to direct them back to the accident scene instead of coming on back to actually rescue someone. 9. disabled friend laying in wildfire 10. rescue of disabled friend from wildfire in back of suv by untrained personnel with no idea whether we were hurting him worse by moving him 11. volunteer FD can't get the pumper truck to pump water during their rescue of the rescue vehicles stuck in a burning field 12. lifeflight ONE JUMPER on ONE JUMP. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slug 1 #15 June 14, 2004 QuoteHere's the patrol car. I'm still shaking my head. Judy Hi Jl The picture of the cop car is . Any video with audio ? the sounds of the tires blowing up etc would be interesting and watching Barney Fife watching in horror as his patrol car go up in flames. Poor cop lots of paperwork, "You did what to you car". Wonder if the USPA insurance will cover the loss I've seen the picture so it must be true. The good thing is the jumper didn't get hurt all those other times during the same O shit. I hate snakes, fires, powerlines, double mals etc etc.New DZ name Lucky! R.I.P.

bmcd308 0 #16 June 14, 2004 >>The good thing is the jumper didn't get hurt << He did break his femur on landing. If you look at the patrol car, that picture is taken from the rear. The landing site is about 25 feet in front of the car's final resting place. It was horrible to have a guy in pain on the ground unable to move, and he could feel the heat and hear the sound of the approaching wildfire. There was a paramedic telling everyone not to move him, and we were like, "Look, we can't just let him burn to death on the ground. Help or get out of the way." He helped. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlmiracle 7 #17 June 14, 2004 Hey Slug, While all this was going on, I was trying to talk a student down (with the students family sitting outside about 50 feet from me). There is some video of the mal, and the fire(s), none of the snake. We couldn't make all that up for it not be be true.
