Parachuting world champion Rozov opened his parachute as he headed into the volcano, landing safely on a sheet of ice in the crater. clicky (.)Y(.)

Sletzer 3 #2 April 21, 2009 I followed that link to a video with a guy base jumping a wingsuit off a cliff in Norway. He has a malfunction, smacks the cliff face a few times, bounces off, strugles to fix the canopy, then eats the ground. Amazingly only suffers a broken leg.... and some dirty undies. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7596528.stmI will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jsreznor 0 #4 April 21, 2009 meh. i was expecting him to dodge lava there wasn't even any smoke AND he landed on a sheet of ice What sort of active volcano has ice? an ice volcano? when it blows, it snows? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,396 #5 April 21, 2009 >What sort of active volcano has ice? Lots of them. "Active volcano" means that the volcano is geologically active i.e. releasing lava, gas, steam or mud, or is experiencing a lot of earthquakes as magma shifts beneath. It's also used to refer to volcanoes that erupt somewhat regularly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #8 April 22, 2009 QuoteIt's also used to refer to volcanoes that erupt somewhat regularly. Given the context, that would seem to be a cheat. Somewhat regularly could mean sometime in the past century. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,396 #9 April 22, 2009 >Somewhat regularly could mean sometime in the past century. Right. We're talking geology here. >Given the context, that would seem to be a cheat. Why? The volcano shown in the video is not only active, it's spitting stuff out - you can see the fumaroles in the video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The volcano shown in the video is not only active, it's spitting stuff out - you can see the fumaroles in the video. Indeed - I couldn't see the video earlier - I generally don't do video on company network. If it had been active like Shasta is active, wouldn't give it too much credit.
