Prolly safer than skydiving and certainly safer than BASE.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prolly safer than skydiving and certainly safer than BASE. That's like saying Russian Roulette is safer with a revolver than a semiauto. Having said that, gyrocopters are particularly safe. Autorotation is inherent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't that depend on your experience level and how conservatively you fly?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest #31 April 22, 2015 winsor*** Chuck Norris farted Rambo into existence. Rambo was a character in a nice little book by David Morrell (First Blood). Some 4-F Hollywood type got ahold of it and completely missed the point. FWIW, most snake-eaters of my acquaintance do not look like bodybuilders. In mufti they look fit but unremarkable, which is what put the SAS in business (SAS is more likely to infiltrate as tourists than by more dramatic means). Norris is a civilian, who was married and too old for the draft when the Southeast Asian War Games heated up. BSBD, Winsor Norris was also a USAF veteran who served in Korea. His older brother was KIA in Vietnam. mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
