I am having a hard time following your broken english faber but what I think you said is "I like to argue points with zero proof and back it up with garbled english that is hard to follow?" I asked so I was not the 8th person, instead of just knowing everything I decided to ask people who actually were there or have seen proof. By the way I saw a guy do 25 gainers off the perrine. Would you believe it or like to see actual video proof? My .02 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She broke several bones and was in a coma for 27 days. In World War II there were several reports of aircrew surviving long falls; Nick Alkemade, Alan Magee, and I.M. Chisov all fell at least 6,000 meters and survived.Get in - Get off - Get away....repeat as neccessary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASEjumper 0 #33 February 22, 2007 One incident of history I remember hearing about many years ago was about a russian who had to exit a plane without a parachute (I think it was on fire) at something like 20,000 feet and impacted a steep snow covered slope and lived. I'm sure you can find the story online somewhere. HydroGuy may have mentioned the same guy.Life is like a box of chocolates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base736 0 #34 February 22, 2007 QuoteSure the guy who went it would probably like to say he is a super hero and went in with just a PC out but I doubt that is true. If a guy impacts at high speed, gets up, dusts himself off, and walks away, then he's a god or one absurdly lucky mortal. If a guy impacts at high speed, is immediately attended to by level-headed friends, is transported and treated by highly skilled professionals, and is walking weeks or months later, then you should look to those other folks -- the friends and the doctors -- if you want to find hero material.

980 0 #37 February 22, 2007 QuoteTime top to bottom was 6.0 seconds, only a little longer than freefall time. I'm a big fan of body armour, and I think it certainly played a part in Jason's surviving the incident, but as Jamie said, this was one in a million. I saw a jumper impact at 6.0 seconds at the Perrine and live. No body armour. Life flight though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My .02 Quote Has anyone ever gone it at the perrine with aboslutely nothing out and lived? I heard a wild story involving new body armor that saved the guys life. I call BS but wanted to ask people who dont have their head full of un accounted for miracles what really happened. I am sorry to be the one to say this. You call BS. WTF? Why are you asking a question such as this when it is obvious that you will/did call BS on anyone who will answer it. You have your mind made up. Quit wasting our time. From your posts a. “and that was what I needed to know to win the arguement. And I get to use my favorite words; "I told you so jackass"”. b. “Show me proof that someone has fallen from a commercial jet liner and lived. If you really believe it I think your calling the kettle black. Many stories like these are told at DZ's and I felt they were always a joke for the gullible idiots who question nothing. Could you be one of those individuals? I have some land in hawaii if your interested. Cheap too.”. c. “what I think you said is "I like to argue points with zero proof and back it up with garbled english that is hard to follow?"” Sorry again, but this is a typical response from someone who can’t deal with being mistaken. You attack the responder and their grammar or spelling. Where the hell have you been? Why have you not done research to prove BS? Why do you not know of even one of the incidents posted Hydroguy's post was spot on “JAT stewardess Vesna Vulović survived a fall of over 10,000 meters on January 26, 1972 when she was thrown from JAT Flight 364 by an terrorist bomb.

d_goldsmith 1 #40 February 23, 2007 I was going to quote the same incident hydroguy did. Here's a little more detail. It wasn't what we imagine of freefall, but still amazing. Vesna Vulović (Serbian: Весна Вуловић) (born 3 January 1950) holds the Guinness Book of Records world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 meters (6.31 miles, or 33,000 feet). The fall occurred on January 26, 1972, over Srbská Kamenice in Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). Émigré Croat terrorists (Ustaša) had placed a bomb on board JAT Yugoslav Flight 364, on which Vulović was a flight attendant. The explosion tore the DC-9-32 to pieces, but Vulović survived. She remained strapped into her seat in the tail section of the plane that was still attached to the washrooms. The assembly struck the snow-covered flank of a mountain. The 22-year old was not scheduled to be on that flight; she had been mixed up with another stewardess named Vesna. Vulović was the only survivor on the flight. She continued working for JAT at a desk job following her full recovery from injuries which included a fractured skull, two broken legs and three broken vertebrae, one of which was crushed and left her temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. She regained the use of her legs only after surgery. Vulović was awarded the Guinness Record title by Paul McCartney at a ceremony.I've got this really hardcore group of gaurdian angels that need a free paid vacation. ~Dan Osman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 0 #41 February 23, 2007 Quote Thanks again to everybody who did what had to be done when I got myself into trouble. That really can't be said enough. I strolled down to the beach, so utterly convinced I was that there was no rush, only to find you talking to your bro. Luck was on our side in many ways, but you owe so much to that paramedic bloke that happened to be fishing 20 metres away; who happened to have a back board in his little fishing boat. Not to make light of what was an awful incident, but you just couldn't have planned a massive accident better. It's great you got a second chance at life.
