novalis 0 #17 March 28, 2008 dear mr. t. (did you like w.c. bryant in highschool too?) i am interested in the cooper case but an ignoramous concerning any of the technical details. i would appreciate any answers which you with your experience(300 jumps) and your reading might be able to give me. in an article i read by d. krajicek on the "crime library" site i note that mr. cooper jumped at 10,000 ft. (is this an unusual height or "par" for the course? any particular danger involved here) it was below freezing temp. when he jumped. is this a problem for a jumper? there seems little evidence that mr. cooper could have had a helmet with him. is this a very big problem? the plane was travelling at 195 mph confronting ( i read in another article) 2oo mph head winds. are these conditions murderous? are they conditions that experienced jumpers in the past have survived? i do not understand all the talk about the man "splatting". if one lands on a tree after a jump, what are the chances -- can one generalize here? -- that one gets one self killed or badly hurt? is there a consensus among skydivers of what kind of chances the jumper had, or are there too many imponderables? (or just too many "opinions") thank you. if you have ans. to any of my questions i would be grateful. novalis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
