who has had zero g in a jump ship?

[Casurf1978 0]

Do you guys feel anything? Like the stomach kreeping up on you feeling you get on a roller coaster. Also I always wondered how you got a raft out of the plane.

yeah you get a little bit of a funny feeling in your stomach...
for a raft jump, usually you have it go out last, and the pilot gives you some zero g, and the guys on the outside just push it out. like someone else said... it works great until you hit the relative wind

Here is the video of the negative G exit that I did people were talking about

(http://www.interone.net/negg.html)

Info:
Yes it was me doing the jump, I do not recommend doing this type of jump out of an ottter!!! Interested to try it in a tailgate with a wingsuit.

Many years ago on a long flight to another DZ for a boogie a guy was asleep in a sleeping bag in on the floor, so the pilot floated him up into mid-air in the cabin. Can you imagine waking up in freefall stuffed in a bag? Everyone but him thought it was very funny.

Zero G on night jumps are fun. Lights are out, dark outside, then suddenly, your head in on the ceiling.

Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I've been there and done that. The guy wasn't too happy. I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. And that was a problem, cause we were over an hour before landing.

LMAO!!!! Thats too funny!!!

I think when Jesus said "love your enemy" he probably meant don't kill them.

. It does sometimes excite the tandem students a bit, so I try to warn them beforehand.

Yup. From 9 seconds in the SMeG at Hibaldstow. also several others with "interesting" take offs in a cessna 182.

did it once with a crazy french pilot.

he also tried to shake us off while we were climbing on the wing of the pilatus.

then again, he also took apart the stick and passed it along the jumpers in the back...

crazy but fun dude...

C-182. Doing a hop n pop from 4k (DZO set 4k as the price break) and we though the clouds - about 50% - were that high. Turns out they weren't, they were a bit under 3.

Pilot, being a jumper himself, and this being a slow day, decided to give the 3 of us on board a bit of a ride. A hard rise over the puffy, then down into the 'valley' on the other side. This went on for a few 'hills' and each time we all went 'weeeeee'.

I didn't think a Cessna could be so much fun... . I almost wanted to ride it down but that would have been wrong! I flew back into the "wind cone" and then trashed my 7 cell (full stall) just to top the experience (the "extra" altitude gave me the room to play). We can't let our pilots best us now, can we?

Used to do it all the time when learning to fly. Nothing like having a clipboard floating right in front of your face for something a bit more bizarre! Also a REALLY good way to see if the plane is clean or has shit all over the floor.......you soon find out if it is the latter! BSBD! -Mark.

We used to get 8-10 seconds of zero-G on our king air. Enough time to pass Dave Nagy over our heads to the front of the plane, spin him around, and bring him back.

I've been in the Mullins KA while we've had enough 0G time to allow one of his kids to float from the seat directly behind the pilot all the way up to the door (over everyone elses head, of course).

Fun stuff.

Done it a few times in the Cessna. I love it. First time it happened, I was sitting right behind the pilot. I wasn't expecting it, and I floated up and found myself more or less on top of the pilot. We had a good laugh at that one back on the ground.

YUP.... TONS OF FUN

Sweet video Kevin.

How is an exit like that even done? Does the pilot just dive the plane really abruptly?

-Kramer

The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Used to get a lot of -g rides in the '80s (182s mostly)

It can be habit forming

Where is Mullins based &/or where will he be this year?

[brits17 0]

Mullins... ain't that plane the sweetest Sunset load he cranks it and its the bomb. Lol, we could turn points in the plane before we exited... great stuff.

And yeah, and this one time (at skydiving camp) got the pilot to do one at 1500, just to shake up the rest of the jumpers on the load, it was a hoot.

my favirote is when we were going to a demo jump approx 2 hours away we were hiting a lot of turblance one person on the team started bitching about the rough ride and then the
pilot hit - g's the pilot then realized that the plane owner and myself had blood coming out of our heads from hitting the roof of the 182

Didn't get the stomach churning but I got the tingle on the top of the head around the hairline and watched my helmet,which was in my lap rise about a foot.That was in a 182 back in the 80's.
