Muppetdog 0 #1 April 27, 2004 I think I would be cool If some one could find a way to ge a bunch if people in a bass boat and push it out the door, Over un-populated territory of course. Really it does not have to be a bass boat but any boat of some size. I wonder how boats fall? MD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #2 April 27, 2004 I've seen pictures of people in covertibles, and many in rubber dinghies. With the latter the photo often has people on the outside that appear to give it stability, like AFF-Is on each side. Looks fun! Am I right in understanding it's possible to talk to each other?

sid 1 #3 April 27, 2004 well, it's not a boat, but there's a couple of pics of Art Shaffer riding a Kid's bike out of the Otter here http://www.theartofskydiving.com/gallery/Art%27s%20Gallery/art_gallery_index.htm (shameless web site plug)Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

bch7773 0 #6 April 27, 2004 search the forums for raft jumps... theres been quite a few people who have jumped out either riding or holding onto a inflatable raft. i don't know why youd want to use a bass boat, as they are much harder, which could mean injuries if the thing suddenly flipped and smacked you, and they are more expensive. plus i imagine it would be hard to deploy with one, so youd would have to let it smash into the ground.

Praetorian 1 #9 April 28, 2004 I wasn't aware that bass fishing was a contact sport.. whats the helmet for anyway? Good Judgment comes from experience...a lot of experience comes from bad judgment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those bass are extreme!

PhreeZone 15 #11 April 28, 2004 I believe they took the velcro tightener out. That would make the helmet pop off in freefall. The helmet was marketed to keep you safe from other people in your boat from hooking you as they cast and to keep you from banging your head and keeping the spray of the water off your face as you race at 90 mph over the water passing who knows how many fish.
