skydiving - close call!

[Smiling JOe]

I would make sure I didn't jump where Smiling Joe jumped; I don't like those odds!

My brother once told me about a group (that included some members of Monty Python) called the Dangerous Sports Club. One of the activities was the reverse of your bungee jump: You're strapped down to a platform on the ground, and a 300-foot crane stretches the bungee upward. Release straps, try not to black out and get tangled in the bungee...

Based on your location, it wouldn't surprise me to discover that you jumped at the same location, except it looks like they bought some new jump suits.

As for reverse bungee, you can do that in PCB, I believe. Thanks, but no thanks. I listened in science class and think that could be hazardous to my health, being slingshot to the pivot point.

i think they have a ride called "slingshot" at kings island that is like this. thanks but no thanks....

when Flyforfun and I are flying for funn and we are anywhere near where they sky dive they are constantly on the radio saying "jumpers in the air, jumpers in the air!" and they give the position. Also on our sectional maps it shows a little parachute jumper guy where all the jumpers are.

Someone screwed up! He must not have been on the radio.

The plane looked very old school. Maybe his radio was on the fritz.

FFF and I just watched again and stopped it on the plane. He said it looks like a kit/experimental plane and the guy probably was not monitering his radio. Big Dummy!

Are you talking about the video or where you jumped?

Funny thing--the instructor who jumped with me was a guy named Joe, who lives in Sandestin. Small world (unless you're crashing into it, I suppose.)

Is there anything potentially lethal that can't be done in PCB?

Or was the video shot where you (and maybe I) jumped? I'm easily confused for no good reason

I almost jumped from a plane. Almost! A former Green Beret hottie took me up in a plane to jump as a date many moons ago when I was single.
Here's what happened..........

I don't know where the video was shot. It was a youtuber. For the place where you jumped, do the initials S.A. come to mind?
