Sky hook LIKE - video.

[hookitt 1]

This is a video of a Sorcerer BASE rig in use.

EDIT: Bill Booth originated the Idea. A similar use of the Technoligy was used in the scorcerer.


You'll need quictime to play the movie. It's 1.34 MB so it's not too large. I recomend rt clicking the link and selecting Save As.. Play it when ever you have time.

Edit: keep in mind there is no slider on the second parachute, so the opening is extra fast.

Enjoy

in one of bill booth's posts he said that the base container was based off of a design that he was working on for years (this skyhook thing) and the guys to designed the sorcerer worked at rws. look around you'll see were he wrote it.
