DJL 232 #2 May 30, 2008 Great video. Should've gotten someone with a beard to sit in the chair so you could really see the before and after."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crashtested 0 #4 May 30, 2008 thanks..... The beard came off in free fall testing unfortuntuly.... and he looked to much like osma bin laden, we had f15's trying to shoot us down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malarame 0 #5 May 30, 2008 Awesome video! I was wondering, though, how much did the chair weigh, and how was it attached to his foot? It looked like it came right off as soon as it hit the ground. And since I'm very attached to my beard, I'm never letting any of you near me in freefall! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewEckhardt 0 #6 May 30, 2008 QuoteAwesome video! I was wondering, though, how much did the chair weigh, and how was it attached to his foot? It looked like it came right off as soon as it hit the ground. It's like a skyboard - you have it connected in freefall so it doesn't fall on any one, disconnect it on opening, and just keep it hanging on your toes until a few feet before you land.

crashtested 0 #7 May 30, 2008 the chair weighed in at 4 stone... which is about 30lbs i think.... we had a base on before hand but it proved to be to dangerous due to air resistance... The shot was actually made in one shoot.. which looked awsome.. but We did another just so the editing guys had more to work with..... it was teathered to mark harris (birdmantopgun.co.uk), who did an awsome job as a primary as sorts, he lost his balls in the first shoot due to not having a jock stap on.... The chair also had a round reserve and add fitted just in case, with ground crew and 2 other skydivers who pulled higher in case we had a floater, so we could follow it down and make the area safe of walkers etc and cars.... A lot of people put alot of work into this.... and the video is dedicated to Marks dad... who got ill just b4 filming and passed away a couple of weeks after.. So when you next have a glass please raise it to Paul Harris who will be missed by friends and family... This ones for you :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
