mccordia 74 #1 June 5, 2003 Translated from nu.nl (dutch news-site) Berlin - The former head of the german Liberal FDP Jürgen Mölleman (57) was killed while skydiving. According to the minestry in Münster he probably commited suicide at the moment the police and justice department started a major investigation into him and his practices. The political leader was supsected of not paying taxes and illigal funding of his campaign. Anyone have more info on this? Sounds like a sick and selfish way to exit life, especialy concidering you skydiving friends who have to clean up the mess. But I gues some people realy see no other way out...Since he was jumping solo (?), I can not imagine him not having any skydiving friends on his dz...

I've done a lot of solos, and it's not because I don't have friends. Sometimes I want to work on something specific, like my head down, and sometimes I just feel like clearing my head and falling out of the sky without having to worry about what someone else is doing. It's too bad that man felt that he had no way out of his predicament though.

Ofcrouce I also do (a lot:) of solo's...next to learning new things, it's nice to just be able to relax and enjoy the view without having to remember points or try getting into headdown or any other fancy things..What I ment by 'solo?' was that I didn't know for sure if he wasn't a student or tandempassenger...the report was very sketchy.. It was also posted on the incident forum at about the same time I posted it here (I wasn't sure a suicide would be a good thing to have on there) The post on the incident forum states that he cut away at a low altitude...basicly taking the 'red line' way out...a hard decision to make for someone who saw no other way out... http://www.moellemann.com/JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
