darrenspooner 0 #1 February 27, 2005 Just wondering, cos its taken me years to do 121 jumps, what's the most jumps any one ever did? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverek 55 #2 February 27, 2005 Don Kellner has around of 35,000 jumps. Bill Dause has around of 30,000 jumps (I read he also has around 3 weeks of freefall time!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #3 February 27, 2005 30240 dives with 60 second delays = 3 weeks... so it's possible, I guess. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverek 55 #4 February 27, 2005 Here is the proof: http://www.nepaskydiving.com/htm/DonKellner.html . This website is for the DZ Don Kellner jumps at. Truly impressive, considering it is located in not-always-warm-often-freezing Pennsylvania... BTW, Don Kellner has most jumps, but Bill Dause has most freefall time. Simply, Kellner must jumps from lower altitudes that Dause. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koz2000 1 #6 February 28, 2005 And don't forget Jay Stokes who might not have the total number as Kellner and Dause, but he's done 500+ jumps in a day a couple times.______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J.

jerm 0 #7 February 28, 2005 so what if he's jump-whoring? he's still gotten out of a plane and landed 35,000 times w/o getting killed.... that's especially impressive when you consider that he's been jumping since the 60s when the gear was extra-scary. besides, he has to jump-whore living in PA... if he was in Arizona it'd be easy. Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simply, Kellner must jumps from lower altitudes that Dause. Don does mostly hop-n-pops these days. He has experienced some injuries over the years and because of the resulting discomfort he avoids RW now. He will still do tandems but usually just does hop-n-pops all day from 3 or 4k He has been in the number 1 slot for jumps staying just ahead of Bill Dause the entire 16 years I've known him. He is the official Guiness book record holder that entire time and still is today. My first 3 jumps ever were made in 1989 attached to Don and I earned my A license there in 1990. Then I quit the sport for a VERY long time and only returned to jumping a year and a half ago, and when I wanted to get current again, I went back to Hazleton again I usually jump at Cross Keys now because its MUCH closer but I still go to Hazleton several time per year. Very cool, friendly dropzone. __ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 15 #18 March 1, 2005 Huge crowd including support staff of packers, crew, pilots, refuelers, safety spotters and others were there to witness it along with Guiness people if I remember right.

larsrulz 0 #20 March 1, 2005 Jay did my coach's course and is a great guy. He blames the record for his being short; I guess he used to be taller. And you have to realize how coordinated this all was. The porters made it to 2000' in about a minute and there were people on the ground helping him in and out of his rigs. I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK man, here is a link to Guinness World Records website: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/gwr5/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=43948 . Jay's attempt of 534 jumps in 24 hours was classified as an offical world record. If you still don't believe, scroll down on that website and click where it says "PLAY VIDEO" (or use this direct link: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/index.asp?file=content_pages/video.asp?videoid=100173).

vstar2001 0 #22 March 1, 2005 thank you for the web page post, but there is an error on the page, in one place it states 534, and the next (big yellow box) it states 434 jumps.... some one might want that corrected ....I just am................

skydiverek 55 #23 March 1, 2005 Yes, I noticed that error, too. The correct number is 534. I clicked on "Contuct Us" to e-mail Guinness about this, but there is no contact info there (temporarily). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjosparky 3 #24 March 2, 2005 Quote but I would love to know who moderated this(witness's)???, I witnessed it and it was moderated by FIA rated judges. On being Judy Celaya. Diablopilot from these boards was there also. At 10:00 PM it started raining and rained all night. We broke one porter causing a 25 minute down time or the total would have been higher. He is one tough some bitch. He ran for the plane as hard on the last jump as he did on the first jump. Do you have some friends to help you pull you foot out.........................

That being said, I find no fault with someone questioning an incredibly demanding, if not impropable event. I stand corrected, and am very impressed with the physical conditioning of Mr. Stokes.... not many people have that endurance.I just am................
