Bridge Day tandem

Recommended Posts

Dave,
My boyf, made the graphic, although I get to pipe up and steal some credit as I came up with the idea. :-) I'm currently working on some software that I'm trying to get committed to the FreeBSD project. We'll see if it happens.

My day job is that of unix guru/egoist and in my copious spare time *cough* I skydive and BASE jump. What's your story?
find / -name jumpers -print; cat jumpers $USER > manifest; cd /dev/airplane; more altitude; make jump; cd /pub; more beer;

Ted Strong and Robin Heid jumped just after me at Bridge Day in 1984, but there was another tandem jump made at BD in 1988. There was also one made from a bridge in Australia but it wasn't a real tandem rig, just something cobbled together from some old harnesses. I know it can be done, but I think I'd rather just Base jump by myself...
If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.
