miked10270 0 #1 November 5, 2002 A Yugoslav Army paratrooper survived a drop from an altitude of 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) after both his parachutes malfunctioned, the Belgrade daily Glas Javnosti reported on Friday(1/11/2002). The paper said 40-year-old Dragan Curcic escaped with minor cuts and bruises after his main and spare parachutes first failed to open and then became tangled when they opened simultaneously during an exercise on Tuesday. "He went through the roof of an army building. Only God himself saved him from certain death," an eyewitness said. Curcic, a Yugoslav vice-champion with more than 3,000 jumps to his name, performed another parachute drop on Thursday, this time without problems. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

bobsled92 0 #2 November 5, 2002 Nightmares... It is good to hear when someone survives it. A good friend of mine has had two double mals, one thru trees and one into swamp(Fla). The longest he waited to jump again afer a double mal. was 45mins, at a competition after his reserve blew out. My sister-in-laws room mate in college had a no pull impact in So Cal. into some sort of hole that broke her hip,ribs and had her feet next to her head. Pull high and enjoy your canopy (or buy one worth enjoying) Even an Atheist says "Oh God help me" when staring at their possible demise face-to-face._______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
