skydiverek 54 #1 April 27, 2004 There are a few close call videos under the link below. The website is in French, but just click on an icon that looks like 'film frames' to watch it. Also, if you click on "ARCHIVES", it's gonna give you access to even more clips. Enjoy!

Praetorian 1 #5 April 28, 2004 did anyone else watch "le mange INFERNAL" I speak no french but I'd bet its close to "the student from hell" I watched it once and thought at first it was a demonstration of an intentional spin in freefly .. then when I realised the AFF instructor (or french equivelant of an AFF) was fighting to save the studnet... scary .. but it almost looks intentional..

2wheeljunkie 0 #6 April 28, 2004 Yeah, I caught that. Pretty scary. I have no idea what that's like, but it's really eye-opening. How often does that happen...anybody? I really need to stop watching malfunction/cutaway/BASE videos...or do I need to watch more? By no means have I conquered fear, but I have knocked the crap out of it.

scottjaco 0 #7 April 28, 2004 I watched it. I had no idea they were going low until I saw the 2 canopies out. It was a total shock. What I like about this video is that it demonstrates how easy it is to lose altitude awareness. As I watched the video, I was fixated on the student just like the instructor and didn't even see the ground coming! I think every instructor should watch this video. Also, if you are that low, maybe it's a good idea to go straight for silver (especially with a cypres)! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 135 #8 April 28, 2004 Actually it means : the infernal Merry-go-Round... the explanation in the text is : the guy came back jumping after a 2-3 year layoff, had around 60 jumps, coming from classic formation (Static Line). The instructor never found out why the student went to this spiral... And it seems that once the instructor holds him the 1st time, the student tries to escape. Close to the end, the student pulls his hand deploy, but keeps it in the hand. (like if it was a ripcord...) the instructor pulls for himself and gets 2 out, at least the student didn't have to repack his main scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 135 #10 April 28, 2004 ever heard a Cypres fire ??? you see him under a white canopy in the video... he survived it, so did the instructor under 2 canopies, as you can see, not much time between opening and landing in the peas.. errrr trees and hopefully there were the trees, cause the students reserve was very twisted and the trees smoothened the crash landind...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go to: http://www.para-net.org/paramag/archives/directlive/ ...then go into each catalog ("direct173", and so on), then into catalog "images", and then download a file with the ".mov" extension.
