Ontario man survives harrowing skydiving mishap
SaskatooNewb replied to SaskatooNewb's topic in Safety and Training
Okay I thought it might be interesting to phone him and ask him some questions, but I´m not as experienced as you guys to really know the right questions. For this reason I was prepared to hand it off to someone else. Anyways i´ll drop it and i appologize for making a 2nd thread. Does anybody have a link to some pictures or video of the slow spin to 600ft? It must be out there somewhere. -

I sent him a message on Facebook, and he responded with this "Feel free to call me and I would be glad to chat to you about it.. ***-***-****" Would i be violating any policies on this site if i were to post that phone number -

I haven't posted here in two years but this article really pisses me off and wanted to talk about it. (plus i just completed my AFF level 1 and got intersted in the sport again after my first jump 2 years ago). Okay, so anyways, this guy pulls his chute, notices a line twist under a malfunctioned canopy and tries to kick it out?? Okay, maybe he was so nervous he failed to do a canopy check and only looked at his lines, whatever...BUT the way he talks about it to the media he doesn't take ANY responsibility. Instead he points the finger to everyone else so people just feel sorry for him. I even sent him a message on facebook to tell him to man up and take some responsibilty. "After i kicked out the line twist i saw that my parachute wasnt opening properly". WOW. I can't get over that. Maybe i'm overreacting. -

Great.. I'll probably do it august 1st. So if i want to be broken in hard, should I do the Tandem or go right into the IAD? -
