SSB 0 #26 January 31, 2012 The free-Fall footage for Miami/CSI was shot at Skydive Santa Barbara, Lompoc Airport C.A. Quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SethInMI 145 #27 January 31, 2012 Reminds me of the Hawaii 5-0 episode from last fall. The plot: A well trained killer is bumping off ex-SEALS and making the deaths look like accidents. One of the intended victims is going to make a skydive, and is met by the killer who is working as the diver driver. The killer offers the jumper a drink, which is drugged. After getting in the plane, the jumper passes out, and the killer then cuts his reserve cable and AAD control cable with pliers, takes off, and once at altitude pushes the unconscious jumper out of the plane. Meanwhile, the hero has somehow got to altitude and jumped from another plane. He docks on the victim, hooks him up and deploys so they land like a tandem. Fun questions: 1. How did the killer get to be a jump ship pilot, who is permitted to take off with only one jumper on board? 2. Why cut the reserve cable and AAD cable if you want the death to look like an accident? With Hawaii 5-0, the skydive scene is actually closer to reality than many other parts of the show, which often have sequences so impossible or improbable you just have to laugh.It's flare not flair, brakes not breaks, bridle not bridal, "could NOT care less" not "could care less".

Seriously, if they would ask me to hold a cutaway handle in my left hand and throw my PC with my right hand I would say "You're an idiot, right?". I bet the only ones that noticed the cutaway handle is skydivers, everyone else only saw a parachute deploy. So what was the point of the handle? The rest of the episode is kind of out of the skydivers control, but atleast make the freefall part "ok". If they went to UK and wanted to make a episode about soccer without hooligans they would get the royal beating. It's time to make skydiving realistic on TV too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites freeflyfrog 0 #42 February 2, 2012 I made some low-res screen captures of the cutaway handle in question. My guess is that it is an inside joke for skydivers... otherwise there is really no reason that it should be in his left hand during deployment. See attached.

First they pick something up out of a mud puddle, and then they used the same sopping wet glove to pick up some other piece of dry evidence. I'm thinking, "didn't ANYBODY on this show hear of the OJ Simpson evidence?" We all know how badly those cops screwed up the evidence by letting pieces of wet evidence come in contact with and transfer onto dry evidence. Also the bare fingers and thumb of the agent came in contact with the evidence on two occasions in about a minute and a half scene. That's about how far into that episode I watched.
