ridestrong 1 #1 November 8, 2010 What are some fun different exits you've done lately??? This weekend we did a 5-way exit with: 2-way gorilla & 2 with reverse (head down) grips on the sides and 1 train off the gorilla. It went off perfectly and was a lot of fun. You can see it in the vid along with a 4-way version without the train. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dbJoGBsOp4*I am not afraid of dying...

flashvortx 0 #3 November 9, 2010 We launched a successful 12-way tube, then a somewhat successful 16-way tube out the back of the Skyvan at Chicks Rock. Biggest so far? Your exit looked pretty awesome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ridestrong 1 #4 November 9, 2010 hahaha!! That's awesome! Did it get vertical at all? Biggest tube I've been in is a 6-way, but I know they've launch some 9-ways out of the Otter.*I am not afraid of dying...

The 12-way got about 5 good rotations and the 16-way almost got around once but flung people off. They stayed horizontal pretty much the whole time.

Reno1967 0 #9 November 11, 2010 They got bent back on the exit. Couldn't have possibly been from the weight of 2 men on my back, rolling me out of the plane... Felt 'em snap, quite the experience.... No regrets..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your exit looked pretty awesome How did you launch a 16 way out of a Skyvan? I thought you could only have 9 or 10 behind the line. The biggest I've heard of so far was a 21 way out of a C-130. 3 rows of 7 with 2 people laying down in each row."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

What we did was have the first 12 people get into position with everyone else close to the pilot. Once the 12 were ready, the last 4 got into position quickly and rolled right out. We had a camera guy following us out and I guess he got launched out. The pilot was cool with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,116 #13 November 11, 2010 We tried doing this once, out of an Otter. It wasn't real stable Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

regulator 0 #15 November 11, 2010 Wendy...This looks almost like a 3 dimensional wagon wheel. What's the largest wagon wheel any of you have launched from an aircraft....I am waiting on baited breath until I can find some folks to do a wagon wheel exit with me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erdnarob 1 #19 November 12, 2010 Wow, pretty exciting. I did a 12 way Magic Carpet from a Casa at Rantoul years ago with the late Johnny Gates. Later after checking my Protrack I saw that the maximum speed for this dive has been 167 mph Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.
