Vertifly 0 #2 March 30, 2004 If Anyone admits to this, they should definitely consider NOT using names. Just an FYI. This kind of act (doing the Mr. Bill and not seperating) would be just plain stupidity in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billbooth 10 #3 March 30, 2004 Let's see...A Mister Bill dive without releasing? Sounds like a tandem to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deaflamb 0 #6 March 30, 2004 A teacher once told me ask any question because chances are someone else will be wondering the same thing but be to shy to ask. Maybe I am Nieve but what is landing a mr. bill, and what is releasing (i assume mr. bill) rayHappy Trails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I am Nieve but what is landing a mr. bill, and what is releasing (i assume mr. bill) ray Think of a hop and pop tandem, without a tandem harness, and the "passenger" wearing their own rig. Releasing a Mr Bill is when the "passenger" lets go, and deploys their own parachute. Landing a Mr Bill is when the passenger doesn't let go.-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bch7773 0 #8 March 30, 2004 it would be stupid, but doable. you get the sluggo, i think its called, to wear a huge canopy like a 300+ or maybe even a tandem main. MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usedtajump 1 #11 March 30, 2004 Saw a Mister Bill "landed" in a lake at water jumps. Man, even landing in water would take a set of brass ones IMHO.The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 279 #12 March 30, 2004 QuoteQuoteThere is a jump on the Extreme lemmings video of just what you are talking about. Wow, I'd like to see that. Who has a copy? See it, not do it. The Lemmings Extremes video shows some of the craziest jumps at Bridge Day over many years, both good and bad ones. The video shows a Mr Bill that was landed from the Bridge, in the river, not on dry land. Since then no Mr Bill landings are allowed; the second person is supposed to jump & deploy. The video was produced by Will Forshay, who died about a year ago in an aircraft accident (non-skydiving). His site, http://www.lemmingsvideo.com/ is still up. I have no idea whether someone is taking care of the site & his videos or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
