Zach Effron AFF

Holy cats just caught an interview with Zach Effron on Live with Kelly this morning. Typical "oh boy crazy" stuff. But also saw this flash across the screen. I thought we had learned our lessons about AFFI having Go-pro on the top of their heads?

Wow, esp. on the main side. Bad idea for the levels where you're hanging on during the pull.

Plus you never know when you're going to have to rush in and pull for someone on the higher levels.

You have outside video. Why mess with inside video?

The primary is Scott Smith. A Google search turns up that he was learning to skydive (in 2014) for a programme with Bear Grylls (the one where Bear did the shitty IAD job on him and got the pilot chute around his leg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ySpmXFVLww). I suspect the inside camera was asked for by the production company. Although the freefall (and deployment!) doesn't really feature on his YouTube video

Oh, well if the production company wanted it, then it must be okay. We should waive our safety standards any time it will help make a good video!

There are some nice, snag resistant mounts out there for gopros. At least get one of those.
