Yikes! Glad you got out of that predicament unscathed!

Now you have a couple of "no shit there I was..." stories to tell.

And that's how I started the story all weekend.

I have so many of my own, I still don't know how I'm still around today!

but what i really want to know is (cause i see from your profile you work in medical billing ) is why cant a hospital get all the damn bills mailed out in lets say 60 days, we're ( our insurance ) still get f-ing bills over a year later. if i tried to pull that crap as a business owner, i would be fired.

I'm not on that end of the billing...I'm in accounts receivable for an urgent care company. I sometimes get payments from insurance companys for bills that are 2 or 3 years old.

I can answer the question but that would be a different topic and well we cant get off topic...

Amazon I know you were kidding about 10 pullups...but I bet both you and I would have a hard time deadlifting our body weight with one arm that is fully stretched out. Easier said than done...I'm sure you were glad for that helping hand...and I'm glad you're ok.

Good thing your gear was not damaged in any way. Did you check your strap in ff at least?

I would not have liked that at all........

Wimp! Would have been real exciting to land with the whirly bird like that!! he he he That would have been a great log entry, and that pilot was good enough to make it happen safely!!

Thought i taught you about snag points with the SF mystery AC last June? Short memory eh? LOL

Hey, glad you made it and you did walk away with a great story and learning experience.

Was that a GoPro?

I wonder how many people do that - it seems like it would be a common snag point if you are a bumpy brother.

. . . and side note . . . if you stare into the sun too much it will burn your camera up.

You say that just because you would scream like a little girl.

Not a GoPro...a CX100. And thanks for the tip on the sun.

Thanks. I tried to stay as calm as I could. But I was worried about what would happen if I couldn't get unstuck. As I said before, talking to the pilot later he said he could have landed with me like that. But that thought never once crossed my mind. So there was a bit of panic inside my head.

Well, what if he was lowering you to the ground and your chest strap broke or ripped free and you end up too low to do anything about it?
