    127 (out of 319 total jumps), all performed in the UK. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    It's interesting that both Parachutist and Skydiving have used the same photographer(Hans Berggren), although different orientations, I assume from two different cameras on the same helmet. However, to me the picture seems a lot better in Skydiving. For one, it is a lot bigger. Secondly I think the orientation works better. And thirdly, I don't know if it's like it on the film, has been altered someway, or just that it is printed on different paper, but it seems clearer in Skydiving. Oh, and it hasn't got a huge great big logo all over it :-D Did both publications think it was the best picture or is there another reason?

    It doesn't taste the same back home :-( I think it needs to be drunk out of a can, straight from a carrier bag filled with ice and other cans, in 30 degree heat, at 30 pence a can, with 500+ friends! Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    Yes, it really is awesome! Shame about the commentary :-S Loved the surfboard! Looked like the guy on the skies landed quite hard? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    Saw this on uk.rec.skydiving. Looks like an exciting year ahead at Langar! And don't forget about the new, free WiFi internet access! Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    Most years the Espace boogie has a tune that gets played a lot, becomes the theme tune, and is featured in the video. A couple of years ago (or was it last year?), they used a really mellow guitar loop. Anyone know what it is? Heard it on the TV the other day, wasn't able to Shazam it in time, and would like to get it. Thanks. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    Before I launch into one, and in an effort to redress the impression, do you now have an understanding of why it doesn't work like that, that you would like to share? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    There used to be one (in five parts according to the links) on Parachute Riggers.com but the links seem to be broken (to their own site). Perhaps you could email them webmaster@parachuteriggers.com ? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    Adam, are you being deliberately obtuse? Did you not read points 1 and 2 in Bryn's post of Paul's comments? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    I'm also starting to remember a recent advert in the UK for a flu/cold remedy where what can only be described as a pair of big furry arms launched themselves into freefall, deployed their parachutes and landed, wrapping themselves around suffering people on the ground. I'm pretty sure it was from an AN-2 and the reg could even have been the same so I'm starting to give in to the fact that it might not have been Tiggs' AN2. Anyone know the reg of that just to make sure? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    Having never been catheterised and looking at the size of that tube running down his leg, it's no wonder he's been trying to pull it out! :-S Get well soon Matt... Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    Gordy and I will be there wearing every freebie piece of World Team merchandise we received (including helmet) regaling people with stories about how awesome we were in Thailand in exchange for Singhas! But you should still come anyway! ;-) Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    I forgot to mention that Tiggs has an AN2 in the UK, so it was most likely filmed here. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    UK terrestrial TV channel Five is currently running an ident featuring a skydiver wearing a split coloured Vector, exiting an AN2 and freefalling over some lush green countryside. Anyone seen it? Anyone know who the jumper is? Who filmed? Skydivingmovies.com video Thisisfive.co.uk video Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    From The Golden Star Shame I couldn't post this in the original thread but it got locked for some reason. There is no name to this editorial(?). What evidence does the author have that "this anonymous Joe BASE Jumper" exercised "bad judgement" or was negligent? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    The year is 2006, the suit is an S6; no coincidence. It doesn't mean it's 3 orders of magnitude better than the S3(s) Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

    The person hanging off the bottom is a Mexican DZO so I'm guessing it was done there... Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live
