Solo Tandem rig????

Recommended Posts

All jokes aside, what the is this guy wearing? it looks like a tandem harness.....with a canopy on it.

His left hand has no toggle, and the camera guy is WAY too close.

What's up with this rig? Am I overlooking something? :S

What's up is some not-so-professional photoshopping.

Some neighbourhoods to the right of him, sitting on a funny perspective angle, match those to the left of him.

Certainly not taken at Nouvel Air near Montreal, despite the logo on the jumpsuit.

Fascinating photo.

I see only one toggle and the other hand almost looks like it may be permanently disabled.

The rig is very unusual. Parts of it certainly look like tandem components. The toggle does not look like a tandem toggle.

Regarding the camera guy, I wonder if there IS a camera guy or if this is a pole mounted "selfie".

I would love to know the whole story.
The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

see it, the lower right is a copy of the upper left, and there are multiple copies in a diagonal direction.

He has one toggle, the TI has the other and is wearing a hand cam. mystery solved!

its a photo of a friends friend

TI is photoshopped out of the picture.



Yep. Notice that the streets down below, inbetween the risers where the tandem master should be, are repeated duplicates of streets off to the right side of the image. He cut and paste that ground image to fill in over top of the tandem master.

This guy wanted to be a hot shot solo skydiver a bit too much.
