What do you do if the second parachute don't work?

Well there is a four foot deep pool next to the observation area. It would be worth a try.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

Reminds me of the story on why smoke jumpers all carry an apple
in their pocket....

"If ya get into a situation with fire on all sides, no way out...
Ya just find a place to lay down,
put that ole apple in yer mouth...and bake away
like a Christmas pig!"

I'm surprised no one even mentioned the old cliche that my JM told me during our first static line ground school.....when that question was raised, he said, "FLAP YOUR WINGS". He then said, there's nothing you can do at that point and went on to the next topic. Comforting, huh?

I remember an old baywatch episode where Hasselhoff's main and reserve both had mals and his pretty boy protege who happened to be flying his main already, cut away (no RSL) to track down after him. Hasselhoff ended up doing a stand up (upright freefly) and toes pointed down and nailed the ocean in a dive. I think he only lived for a few seconds after that but his body was still intact. I think that whole clip lasted for like 10 minutes. hehehehehe that clip kinda delayed me in pursuing the sport.


How many hits of adrenaline can you take?

[useless skysurfing trivia] It was a dream sequence in which Hasselhoff and his buddy are both skysurfing. Hasselhoff was doubled by Troy Hartman, and his buddy was doubled by Rob Harris. Joe Jennings shot the aerial footage. [/useless skysurfing trivia]
