cpoxon 0 #7 September 29, 2006 Is it an unpacked jump? If so, since the body is less likely to be in a chest down position on inflation, having an unthreaded chest strap should in theory be more survivable?

hookitt 1 #8 September 29, 2006 QuoteBesides the chest strap, where are the risers since the container is open? T.A.R.D. Look at the lines still in front of him. That's probably why he got away with it since he was in a standing position. What's really wrong with the picture is the jumper isn't centered in the frame.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

dbrutherford 0 #9 September 29, 2006 Looks like the lines are all twisted up like he did a T.A.R.D. that way on purpose but that is all I can say. If they were all twisted up, that probably wouldn't be a smart thing to do unless you like flying into steel..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickDG 23 #14 October 2, 2006 It might be a strap from a stash bag that snaked its way out of the backpad pouch. NickD BASE 194 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pocbase 0 #15 October 2, 2006 He forgot to tuck a dreadlock in while doing a tandem TARD with a child. You can see an arm of the passenger behind the dreadlock and a foot between his legs at sort of crotch level. Always tuck your dreadlocks in when doing a tandem TARD. More seriously though, it looks a bit long to be a chest strap and I would be more inclined to speculate that it has something to do with the stash bag. Could have been more convenient to climb the object or at least get to the exit with the harness on and the canopy in the stash bag on the front. Bah! it's all just speculation. If I was that jumper and had forgotten the chest strap I wouldn't want anybody to know so we'll probably never know...The bums will never win Lebowski, the bums will never win!

TVPB 0 #18 October 3, 2006 Geez, where do I start. - Framing of subject matter leaves a bit to be desired. - The clarity and detail of the subject matter AND foreground / background is poor. Can I suggest a higher quality lens f4.5 is cheap (I should know ). - Exposure is a bit high on the background building below. Too bright. - People love to see people. Especially their faces when they are shitting themselves. A detailed face shot purveys emotions that the viewer can either symphasize/associate/alienate/ etc with. Perhaps the subject matter / talent / stunt double should put the rig on backwards and look up at the photographer next time. - Chicks look better in photo's than guys. Maybe a black and white nude next time with some soft focus spotlighting on particular areas???? - And the big one, whoever put that big sign right in the middle of the frame, it is distracting to the viewer. Not only that, it is downright dangerous and unsafe for the jumper. Can you imagine if his chest strap got caught on that on the way down. I understand the important of going for th money shot, but at the cost of someone's life???? - etc. Stay Safe - Have Fun - Good Luck The above could be crap, thought provoking, useful, or . .

TVPB 0 #22 October 3, 2006 Wonderful effort. Now you're exhibiting some creative flair. An existential hurdy gurdy spinning around in the minds of those that see the underlying themes buried deep within the grains and brushstrokes of the original masterpiece. . . . . . I'm putting my safety hat back on. There may be some serious issues with over rotation on exits there!!!!!! Now, good launch, punch your chest out to the horizon (don't poke anyone in the eye - or rather punch them in the face), and for God's sake DO NOT LOOK DOWN. Your body tends to follow where your head looks. I guess she lent her rig to the person actually making the jump. You know, the one with the long chest strap. - - - Enough of this banter. Get back to those objects!!!! Stay Safe - Have Fun - Good Luck The above could be crap, thought provoking, useful, or . . But not personal. You decide.
