nigel99 143 #4 January 6, 2013 Quote Yes. Shoe laces are dangerous. Times have changed. I started jumping in the early 90's and then, people genuinely worried about shoelaces. It wasn't uncommon for people to tape over their laces But people also jumped barefoot or in sandals.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

Pteropus 0 #5 January 6, 2013 Some people would have said, prior to this video; "That's never happened before, therefore it's not something to worry about." Just like the do for skydiving with hooded sweatshirts, with dangling drawstrings... But weird stuff happens at 120 mph. And sooner or later it WILL happen. Don't let it happen to you.

RyanFYF 0 #11 January 16, 2013 so it got caught on the open mount correct? There was no camera mounted to the top plate prior to the entaglement right? Just some open screws and dangling plug from a metal plate? Just checking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 67 #12 January 16, 2013 Quote That's why I only belly fly. The booties we wear make it much safer. That's funny a while back on a belly jump one of my booties came off my foot, when I turned to track it hung up briefly on another jumpers foot. It only took one little shake to get it free but it was 1 second of oh shit for both of us.You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
