JohnMitchell 16 #28 March 13, 2007 That guy had a safety harness under his jumpsuit and was connected to the rig. Still very impressive to engineer that sort of jump. On Rod's chuteless jumps I believe the two camera men had hooks on their harnesses to give Rod a plan B should something happen to the loose reserve. Plan was to hook to the cameramen and land together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was told he had some sort of cable attachment... He also hangs from the leg straps for a long time while under canopy... I seriously doubt anyone is crazy enough to pull that sort of a stunt without some type of safety cable. If he let go of the rig by mistake while in freefall, there's still a small chance he could hold onto one of the camera guys... While under canopy he wouldn't even have that small luxury. Maybe I'm wrong though... Does anyone know for sure?Gravity Waits for No One. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
