Courteney 0 #1 April 12, 2004 Hi there, I had recently watched the DVD Out Of The Blue and was wondering if that guy who hooked himself in before the swoop pond actually lived. It looked *%&#ing horrific!!! And if he did, what was the extent of his injuries? Just curious, Cheers....drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!

ianmdrennan 2 #2 April 13, 2004 It's been discussed a couple of times (just search the swoop forum). He's fine, couple of bumps and bruises but was jumping the next day. Blue skies IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 14 #3 April 13, 2004 I believe that is the footage of Andy Anderson hooking into the side of the Skydive New England pond. Andy got up and walked away from that landing with no major injuries. Seach the fourms its been discussed a few times and there are links to better videos of it also posted.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katiebear21 0 #8 April 13, 2004 From the Guidelines: The purpose of this forum is to report, discuss and learn from fatal and serious non-fatal incidents. Most, if not all, new threads here should start with the report of an actual incident. General safety issues or small and potential incidents should be posted to the Safety and Training forum. Incidents include: malfunctions, cutaways, wraps, collisions, crash landings etc. I trust everyone will use their good judgment before starting a thread or disposing of advice. Not trying to bust your chops but every time I see a new post in this forum, my heart skips a beat because usually one of our fellow jumpers was recently seriously injured or has passed away. This post probably belongs in General Skydiving. Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freakydiver 0 #9 April 13, 2004 9 years ago I hoooked it in, left a four inch divot where my face hit. I walked away fine. Talk about luck. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." -- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
