Teixido 0 #1 December 8, 2004 Getting into base is pretty easy these days but it is not all fun. Do a search on the movie; 'renes_ongeluk' on skydivingmovies.com and think it all over again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SabreDave 0 #3 December 8, 2004 Holy Sheep Shit Batman!!! That was U-G-L-Y!! A few questions for my personal knowledge. Was it a vented canopy? Did the canopy stay reasonably inflated while the nose was against the concrete? It looks like a slider up, was it?? Aprox. how many twists?? Too many to reach above the twists? And finally is he OK?!?!?!?! He sounded quite hurt but I hope that was just the wind knocked out!?! My best wishes for a speedy recovery for the jumper!!!SabreDave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
renebrugging 0 #4 December 8, 2004 Well,after the impact the canopy was vented.Before that it was a ACE 240.The jump was slider up and the girlish sounds were real as for the several broken bones.(nose shoulder back ellbow and foot).Scared the shit out of me that a impact on half brakes is like that.doQuotent know exactly how many twists.i think 0,5 but maybe it was 1,5.Time flies when youre having fun.Doing ok now made first skydives after 2 months again.If you have a dam in your backyard.DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SabreDave 0 #5 December 8, 2004 Wow!! That's intense!! I am glad you are recovering well and getting back in the air! Thank you for answering those questions. As for the girlish sounds............my friends will gladly give you a demo of what I sound like just climbing over the railing No dams where I am, the only dam I have jumped was in Switzerland but not that one. It was probably my scariest jump yet or = to my first anyway. Be well..................SabreDave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skreamer 1 #6 December 8, 2004 Godverdomme, kaaskoppie!!

Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DexterBase 0 #17 December 9, 2004 I have some questions for you, part of a slowly developing hypothesis. What is your weight? Height? Body fat composition? What armor were you wearing at the time? More questions but not related to the above: Were you jumping slider up in deep brakes? That looked like around a 3 second delay. What corrective actions did you take on opening? Do you think it would have been better to take three seconds slider down rather than risk the more unpredictable heading results of a short slider up delay there? Glad you're healing. Thanks for the video, that's good for prospective young BASE jumpers to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites renebrugging 0 #18 December 9, 2004 Wingload with that canopy was 0.78.I used shallow breaksetting which i prefer in a "no twist situation".I have almost 500 basejumps and cleared several 180s.Twist was high with slider entangled in it.As for my not so long arms and the small amount of time it totally surprised me.As you see I managed to clear one but not chance to turn for me.I was wearing both ellbow and knee protection and a helmet off course!And hell yes its stupid to make subterminal delays like that.I made couple off 4sec slider down jumps and they are way more safe!
