Maybe the person didn't survive, and so they took it off. If thats the case, I really don't want to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physics23 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Possible spoiler: I imagine they were able to maneuver the craft so as to free the chute. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 Unrelated but here is another reason not to skydive QUOTE Skydiver Dies After Striking Plane in Fla. Email this Story Apr 24, 8:42 AM (ET) DELAND, Fla. (AP) - A man who was skydiving in central Florida struck the wing of a plane as he descended over an airport, losing both his legs in the accident. The man later died, officials said. Albert Wing III hit the airplane that he jumped from Saturday morning, police Cmdr. Randel Henderson said. Police said the victim had opened his parachute when he struck the left wing at about 600 feet. His legs were severed at the knees, but he managed to land near an airport. Wing was taken to a hospital, where he later died, Henderson said. The plane landed safely. DeLand is about 40 miles north of Orlando. Fourteen other skydivers were in the air at the time of the accident, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Holly Baker said. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board were investigating. Skydive DeLand, which organized the jump, said Saturday's accident was not common. The death was the second involving the company this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 When you think about it, parachuting has got to be one of the most idiotic pastimes ever thought up (after listening to Mariah Carey sing of course). I mean, why would anyone in their right mind want to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want2bLikeBrutus Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 No kidding, I was thinking about learning to skydive over this weekend!! Lifes gotten a little complacent lately (other than finding this board!!) so I was considering some stuff that I always wanted to do. But Geezzzzzzz...how do you hit the plane you jumped from??? Hard to say if it was the pilot or jumpers mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say if it was the pilot or jumpers mistake. On the video it looked like his chute opened too early, so it dragged him to the rear of the plane too early. The one Cyg posted sounds pretty gruesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
