sunshine 2 #3 October 30, 2002 When i first saw the subject, i thought maybe your magazine didn't get there on time. I wish my first thought was correct. I feel for his freinds and family that are left wondering....hope they find him soon. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

Being fanned with Palm tree leaves by hoo-la girls!!! Seriously though, this is pretty shitty. My heart and thoughts to the jumper and family/friends. It amazing that something like this can still happen in this sport... The article says winds were low at the time of jump but they landed a mile south of the intented area... Does this seem odd?

mccordia 74 #8 October 30, 2002 Just like tripleX, another brainless action movie which takes the life of a skydiver in a 'stunt' jump for the film. It's almost starting to look like a trend, one I hope that doesn't set through. My condoleances to his friends and family.JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

goose491 0 #13 October 30, 2002 QuoteHarry O'Conner died doing the bridge stunt. I haven't see the movie... Is it the base jump, off the car, off the bridge? What went wrong? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #14 October 30, 2002 A sort of parasailing base jump from a car to a boat that was pulling the canopy/jumper under a bridge. I don't know if I can really explain it...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robzay 0 #15 October 30, 2002 <> The stunt was a cable slide from a round to a submarine under a bridge. Tragically he mistimed it on the second try, they already had it in the can, thought he could do it better. The jump in this thread is a shame, sounds like people landed everywhere, water, inland, everywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #16 October 30, 2002 >Tragically he mistimed it on the second try I think it was the 12 try that Harry died on. And from the news reports I've heard it did'nt seem like this was too well planned if the group landed a mile away from the LZ and 300 yards out to sea.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #17 October 30, 2002 This is coverage from the local newspaper. I know a lot of jumpers who do stunt work... My fingers are crossed that he's found alive soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
