Here is the video of the jump

There will be a video posted within the next day or two... Hopefully...

I think what they didn't pay is their lawyer bill. It seems that their attorneys are wanting to withdraw from representing them. There is an article in this months skydiving magazine explaining about how they owe their lawyers a bunch of money and they want out... They didn't say exactly how much they owe, just that they wanted out and they cited those reasons.

The Ft. Campbell club was closed in 2000 due to base politics and was was scheduled to reopen on Sept 16th 2001 But i think we all know what happened there.... MWR sold all the club gear years ago and i doubt there will ever be another one...

I got my A license from the Ft. Campbell sport parachute club and let me just tell you how horrible it was. First off you had monthly dues you had to pay, which was somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 bucks a month. Then there was the gear rental which cost about 25 bucks for the whole weekend, but thats not even the worst part of it. The worst part was i had to learn how to skydive out of a black hawk helicopter (sometimes a chinook), and they made me pay 2 dollars for the whole day of jumping out of military aircraft that took almost 8 min to get to 14000 ft... Ohhhh the humanity......

Thanks everyone for your replies it has been helpful. I'll try to reply to everyone responses and concerns here but if i miss something ask me again. As far as the leg straps being to tight, i don't think that was the problem. I did 2 gear checks and nothing seemed to be overly tightened (but then again i wasn't wearing it). I'm gonna call him today and see how he's doing, I'll ask him if his inner thighs are bruised. To Gravity surfer: yes there is a river at the end of the runway and he was extremely lucky he didn't hit anything. He landed about 20 yards from an obstacle in all directions. As far as low blood sugar, He had just gotten back from the store right before he got on the load and he said he had eaten a bagel right before we left. Thanks again everyone for the replies. We are going to tell the student that at the very minimum he will have to be checked out by a doctor before he can jump with us again.

Hey folks we had a very strange incident at our DZ yesterday and i wanted to know if anybody had ever had any experience with. We had a student on his 8th jump lose conciseness under canopy. He landed ok with a couple scrapes. I went with him on his jump just to observe, and he seemed very relaxed and comfortable in freefall. He pulled at his correct altitude and i observed him making a couple of turns under his canopy. I landed then waited in the landing area to watch him land. He looked as if he initiated a turn down wind but stopped when he was about 45 degrees to the wind Line (he was crabbing) and stayed that way all the way to the ground. When he landed i noticed that his hands were down but i thought he was just flaring. The first people who got to him said that he was awake but a little dazed. The student told us that at about 2000 feet (i tend to think he was lower than this) he could feel himself getting woozy and that he was having to fight to stay conscious. He said that he does remember flying toward the landing area but he doesn't remember landing. The first thing he remembers is laying on the ground and people running up t0 him. Our DZO has been in the business for 37 years and has never heard of anyone losing conciseness under canopy. Now we would all like the kid to be able to jump again but frankly we are a little worried about the boy, and nobody wants to let him go up again with out knowing what caused the black out. Has anybody ever had a student (non tandem) black out on them before????

I have to agree with everyone else here Paul. I couldn't just sit there and do nothing even if it meant i would get injured.... Imagine what would have happened in Knoxville this past weekend when the guy stormed into a church with a shotgun and started spraying. If he had his way he would have killed everyone in there and then been shot by the police. It turned out that a few brave souls jumped on the guy and restrained him until the police arrived....

You ever seen a crisp one hundred dollar bill???

Looks like it is going to be a heads up match... Hey billy what is your user name on stars?

If you started jumping at ASC, you could probably get a sugar daddy. How do you know she doesn't have a Sugar Daddy already?????
