Orange1 0 #1 June 2, 2005 I'm not sure if this is the right forum but it is a 'skydiving' discussion - mods please feel free to move to bonfire if that's appropriate! Someone sent me a video (too large to download here) of an elderly lady on a tandem, she had her mouth open.. and her false teeth went flying out. It doesn't LOOK like it's been doctored... I'm sure others here must have seen it - does anyone know if this is a genuine video??Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest #4 June 2, 2005 The block of instruction our tandem students receive covers it - dentures, retainers etc should stay on the ground or else they might go bye-bye. Doesn't mean the student will listen of course. You can have it good, fast, or cheap: pick two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 35 #5 June 2, 2005 I've seen it. It's real. Tandem-master had a wrist/hand mounted videocam. I've talked with the TM's son about it. It was hilarious, to say the least.

jumpergirl 0 #6 June 2, 2005 My dad used to put his dentures in a pocket in his jumpsuit. He forgot one time and almost lost them in freefall. He didn't forget anymore after that. So yes, I certainly believe that video is real. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LilZilla 2 #10 June 3, 2005 I've heard one of those stories too. A cameraman was videoing a tandom and I believe it was an older dude on the tandom. Well anyway, his eye fell out and was bouncing around in his goggles. Betcha he was happy he bought a video for all his family and friends to see!!!
