hukturn 0 #3 June 9, 2007 amyg...that is so fucked up! But it is so cool. I just don't know exactly how to take this in. The only thing I was wondering was if the chickens wings wer broken thereafter? I mean, they are really stretched out in free fall. "Thanks" for sharing! What i sthe terminal velocity of a cat. And, would he land feet down? Nah..I can't do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amyg 0 #4 June 9, 2007 it was totally fine the harness was custom built to fit the body shape of the chicken. This way the pressure was distributed evenly across the chicken skeletal structure. the wings were fine. birds have a rotary type joint that gives the wings a huge range of motion. The wings never past 90 degrees from the lateral line of the chickens rib cage. 120 degrees is the limit for that particular direction of flexion. The jumpers consulted with a avian specialist before attempting and designing the harness. from what i hear the rooster is back in the barn yard and has scored with more hens than ever before. Animals have rights!!!!......The right to do bad ass stunts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustChuteMeNow 0 #8 June 9, 2007 Where can I contribute to such a charitable organization such as this where chickens are given the gift of a wish prior to their destiny as a pot pie? So many chickens to help and so little time. Please keep up the good work. It is eggcellent hahahaThink of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazydiver 0 #9 June 9, 2007 Quote I can imagine most the people posting to this saying its cruel etc will go home and eat a battery farmed chicken on Sunday I agree with you, but at least eating them isn't torturing them. I myself am a vegetarian, but this really does bother me. I bet these folks burnt a lot of ants with a magnifying glass when they were little. Not seeing the humor of torturing an animal. I hope that this is not something that all skydivers think is funny... Sorry to be so negative, but this bothers me. Cheers, Travis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jose 0 #11 June 11, 2007 To all of you that consider this chicken jump as a truely "cruel" treatment, you need to pull your head out of the sand. Wake the fuck up, and realize how much of a hypocrite you are. I'm not saying that I condone the chicken jump....but since I eat chicken and all types of meat....I sure as hell aren't going to jump this dude's shit. That would make me a complete fucktard, and a DZ.com lemming. Which are you?
