nebug 0 #29 July 17, 2011 Boy, you guys sure know how to take the ball and run with it. I do one stupid thing, lose a shoe, and get back 28 reply posts with jump stories, pictures, and video to boot (pun). I can sure feel the loveNo sarcasm intended. Thanks for all of your posts/info/advice. ----Now Be Nice---- edited when I realized this post the first time sounded like sarcasm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jclalor 12 #30 July 18, 2011 A few weeks ago I exited on my back and noticed my $140 car key just kind of floating in my burble for a second or two, as soon as I tried to grab it, it was gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you see a long-haired, old ex-hippie out wandering the fields, pay him no mind. He's shoe shopping.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

kingbunky 3 #32 July 18, 2011 we had a guy lose a shoe on exit from an otter. it landed before him, about 10 feet from the packing tent. he was a little surprised to see it when he got back.

My ex lost her frap hat in freefall and had it handed back to her by a visitor after it landed in the airfield car park. It got a little wet since it hit a puddle, but it was unscathed (as was the audible inside it). I guess that's the good thing about those old leather hats - they're kind of floaty. Full face helmets tend to take at least some damage from impact, even if it's only the visor - and I guess if they happened to hit someone then it wouldn't only be the helmet that got hurt!
