buff 0 #5 April 28, 2008 Does anybody know jump numbers on these two? What about fin loading? Doesn't Sea World have a seperate HP area? Do they take 1-800-SeaRide there? It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

What were the swim numbers of the two involved dolphins? Did they have their pro rating?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos340 1 #8 April 28, 2008 Now that Dolphins have taken up Swooping, Even the water is not safe. So was it a 270 or 450 that evil swooper dolphin used to kill the other Standard Pattern Dolphin? When will these guys learn!! The Low Fish has the right of WAY!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowwhite 0 #9 April 28, 2008 Not to flame, but we all KNEW this was going to happen sooner or later! I mean he was such a hot dog.

kaerodyne 0 #11 April 28, 2008 Sharky was a very good loyal friend of mine, and I resent any comments about him being reckless. I have jumped with Sharky many times and he was a safe and heads up jumper .... I'm sad to have lost my friend, we all need to learn from this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowwhite 0 #12 April 28, 2008 This was clearly the fault of the tank owner. When are we going to learn from this? I have known many fish who left that tank just because of this kind of wreckless behavior.skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look - maybe the fish do have the right of way as they are undoubtedly the less experianced of the group - but the Mammals should not be punished and made to have to jump somewhere else just to pacify the fish! The mamals have put their time in this sport already - let the fish jump out farther than the regular landing area.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OH - I almost forgot - what protective gear, if any, was Sharky wearing. I don't mean to sound callous, but I heard he was doing this jump naked!I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 14 #15 April 28, 2008 When I started jumping we swam a lot slower and it was a lot safer. These young dolphins just think they have to go so fast all the time. I used to want to swim with the dolphins, but now I'm having 2nd thoughts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MilliniaS 0 #18 April 28, 2008 Second hand info here.... Please dont bash I just want to verify. Heard that they both had just ingested LARGE amounts of sardines before the jump.
