billeisele 122 #9 November 28, 2008 possible but ??? think I'll just watch this one one of the bigger issues would be the difference in initial fallrates, the TI with 50 lbs of gear vs. the harness wearer (HW) it would be very difficult to find a "helper" that could maintain fallrate once the HW was underneath the TI, probalby can't launch the drogue until the shoulder snaps are connected assuming that fallrate was resolved, then it is just a matter of the intial RW 2-way, then the TI has to get on top of the HW and make the shoulder connections, the hips would be last but not criticalGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you know the answer to the question of whether it's possible, so what are you asking? it was not done with a tandem harness I'm pretty sure it was. Or some facsimile of one. See http://expn.go.com/expn/story?id=3055619. And, in the youtube video, you can see the diver on top of him pull something out of Pastrana's shorts at around 0:37.

mitsuman 0 #21 November 29, 2008 i think your missing a main point of skydiving....being able to do another one. The more you love skydiving, the safer you are.Hi, my names Jon, and I love to skydive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghost47 18 #22 November 29, 2008 Quotei think your missing a main point of skydiving....being able to do another one. OP asked if it was possible. The answer is (quite obviously) yes. If what OP wanted to know was whether it was possible to do again, he should have (and could have) asked that. And the answer would again be yes. However, as many others more experienced than I have pointed out, it's not a good idea. In fact, common sense should tell you it's not a good idea. I mean, normally I'm a live-and-let-live kind of guy. And I think it's up to each person to decide what sort of risks they want to take. But you jump at Elsinore. Which means your decisions affect my ability to jump. So please don't. ;) QuoteThe more you love skydiving, the safer you are. Being that you're from my dropzone, I'm going to assume you're kidding on this one, because I can't imagine the people who taught me (and who I assume taught you) leaving a student with an idea that he's safer 'cause he loves what he's doing. You're safer 'cause you do gear checks, pay attention to what's going on in the air and on the ground, and you've had training. You're safer 'cause you're constantly on the lookout for things, because you've got people checking things for you (like misrouted chest straps), and because you have an attitude of "teach me". But I'd be willing to bet quite a lot of money that most of the incidents we've had this year were from people who really loved skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mitsuman 0 #23 November 29, 2008 QuoteOP asked if it was possible. The answer is (quite obviously) Of course it is, but so is landing a wing suit. Possible yes...worth it? To many..no. But i do understand where you are coming from.

Good catch, i didn't literally mean that just because you love skydiving means you are going to be safer...but at least TRY to be safer might have been a better verbiage?
