indyz 1 #1 May 30, 2003 It was the student who pulled his cutaway instead of the main handle, then lands in the power lines. But this time, Fox (!!!!!) actually got the story right and put the blame on the student for pulling the wrong handle. I was amazed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joellercoaster 6 #7 May 30, 2003 Yeah, do that. I had a way off-DZ landing on AFF 7 and was quite pleased with my choice of out... until I got a little closer and noticed the power lines (I'm a little shortsighted, apparently) on two sides. Had to flee across the lake and land with some sheep. Next time, I'm taking a drive around the whole area and working out where all the power lines are. Of course, I seem to have found the best ones for myself already...-- "I'll tell you how all skydivers are judged, .
