AndyMan 7 #7 April 14, 2005 IIRC, that was Troy Hartman from the "Senseless Acts of video" series on MTV. He soaked the canopy in kerosene, jumped from the airplane holding the canopy, deployed it instantly.... And ignited it with a flare gun. He later cutaway the canopy and deployed a second main. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it burns to the point of little drag before chopping, you're going to have a bad day. well at that point, you would be basically in freefall, so the burning lines wouldn't be touching you. plus 120 mph winds i bet puts out a basically a string on fire.
