wolfriverjoe 1,340 #9 April 17, 2012 I'm my own rigger, and I'm not going to aim for my own car. I've always loved the idea of taking a shoe and stuffing it down my jumpsuit, but I gotta agree with Squeak. I'm going to be too busy fighting it all the way down to do anything else.

BIGUN 1,053 #10 April 17, 2012 QuoteId flick on my back and flat spin to red out. Soon be drinking beer with the man upstairs. Now that you've learned how not to spin... Reminds me of one of my former Colonels that became the second highest decorated aviator out of 'Nam when he told the story of Heli pilot school. During hover control training. the CFI told him to try and remember everything he does in the next couple of days. "Cause, once you find the hover button, you'll never be able to do these kind of aerobatics again." On topic, I vote to take me pecker out of my suit so as to have them thinking about possibilities for a long time.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

jhh166 0 #11 April 17, 2012 There is some funny stuff on here but I honestly would try flying what I have and if there was nothing out I would spend my time trying to get something out. I have this nightmare once and a while and in the dream I am punching and elboing the side of the container trying to get something/everything to dislodge. If I did aim, it would be through the trees. The last .001 of a second would be quite the visual and the first time I have ever seen stationary objects go by at terminal (assuming the tree branches dont do the deed first).

waveoff5500 0 #12 April 17, 2012 i had that dream too, took my local board members advice and flared in my dream and i was miraculously alright! haha. im pretty sure i would stay in a freefly, that ground rush would be insane and i would def try to yell something funny to my friends before i pounded in. considering that i was over the DZ. maybe try to track id have to imagine seeing a full out track all the way to impact would look crazy from the ground. but like others said i dont know situation that it would go down like that"its just a normal day at the dropzone until its not" 1653 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granted that thought will be VERY short. That's not how Patrick DeGayardon went out. Granted that was a one time thing... Once he realized his rigging mistake, and there was no getting out of it, he went in with a blood-curdling primal scream. Of course, that's just from memory reading the reports of witnesses on the ground."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
