SkydiveMonkey 0 #3 February 23, 2003 Posted by Richard Grounddiver ..... "Bloody hell man, just put it on spin with no heat, press the button for1000 rpm", ok if I can stand the Zannussi xl54 complete with rig for 30 secs im on for the world record. The plan, to do more forward tumble rolls in freefall than has ever been achieved in history from 6000 ft I rolled down the aircraft and manged 2 before slamming against the pilots seat. My cameraman who exited first was to adopt the rolling pin routine keeping in perfect sycronisation with my tumbles, god knows why he covered himself in flour. As the 12V NiMH battery clouted me at the side of the head I realised Brian had stopped filming so the record was unprovable. I remember being taught that before deploying the canopy, it is advisable to come out of the tumble,but at 4600 rpm it was impossible,my auto deploy activated at 1500 and wrapped me into a perfect ball inside the canopy. I slammed home at a little under terminal and shot back upto 500, "that'l be the bounce" exclaimed a female onlooker. As I came to rest on the grass wrapped in this white canopy I heared somebody crying like a baby, unknown to me Brian was wrapped up with me in this caccoon. They tell me it was at this point the Stork arrived. R.G.D.____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
