lurking 0 #1 March 31, 2003 I guess most of you guys would not like the new OPEL commercial featuring skydiving that is currently on the screens here in Europe. It´s advertising some sort of minivan where you can fold down single seats you don´t need. So you see a 4-way exiting the jump plane. The guy with the car is waiting on the ground, obviously to pick up the jumpers (it´s off DZ). On opening one of the four mains does not open. When the guy on the ground sees the malfunction, he folds away one of the seats. Eventually the chute opens very low and the guy on the ground folds the seat back up. Guy landes crashing into a barn (seat down again), guy walks out of the barn, dirty but unhurt (seat comes up again). I find this tasteless. By the way: The chute that opens very low does not look like a reserve (at least to me as a whuffo). Or would 4-way-teams have their reserves color-coordinated with the mains...?
