axe96bam 0 #2 July 5, 2001 I wander what happened. All 4 of them made a practice jump into the ball park on Thursday. Granted, the winds were quite high on the 4th in WI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicagoskydiver 0 #3 July 6, 2001 If the winds had anything to do with this accident, that means the conditions weren't right and they should have called it off. A demo jump is complicated enough without complicating it further with high winds. A skydiving injury in front of a stadium full of people is bad P/R for the sport, and it's better to back out if conditions aren't favorable. I broke an ankle as a student jumping in high winds, and I learned my lesson.Hackey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
