likestojump 3 #4 September 13, 2010 he was probably pointing out how zoomed in the photog got, so it would appear that the jumper is low and thus towing. I am certain it was a sarcastic comment. But go ahead and ruin it with common sense, after all you have more jumps than him ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyrider 0 #5 September 13, 2010 QuoteQuoteLooks like a pilot chute in tow , maybe! Why? A photo is just a snapshot in time. It could be the photo was taken just as he threw the pilot chute out, on a perfectly normal deployment. You would need a sequence of photos over time to show that the pilot chute was in-tow. So from this one photo alone, there's no evidence to show that. Because the Op said the guy was Hummin it.,,,is why! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you really have nothing better to do John? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JohnMitchell 14 #7 September 13, 2010 Okay, I'll say it. Nice Pic.Looks just like my old skydiver stamp for the logbook.
