DUDE!!

Between this and jumping from a helicopter, I don't know what would be more fun. I hope that I've got the financial freedom to do some of this stuff one day...

That looks like a kick in the pants. Engine-less wing riding must be very peaceful.

The "transfers" are interesting too:

Seriously, who wants to go skydiving!? I've got the fever again (too bad it's an expensive one)...

Holy ****!

 

[CEHollier]

That is some crazy stuff there.

 

[themcfarland]

Holy ****!

someone explain to me if what happened?

 

[slinkyonrampage]

That is awesome. Makes me want to go skydiving even more.

Anyone know of a place around here, that rents/instructs gliders?
I've done it a couple times a long time ago, and want to finish, and get my Glider rating along with the rest of the ratings...

Holy ****!

Looks like his arm got caught when the chute deployed. Then he just got all tangled up!

How did this end?

How did this end?

Hopefully, with him whacking away with a hook knife and landing under his reserve.

I'm going to SpaceLand this weekend for a weekend of 120 MPH fun. 500+ jumps and it only gets better. And the military jumper was doing a static line jump at around 3000' agl that would give him enough time to chop and pull his reserve.
