Re: Forget What a Ripcord is ?
Damn you Bill, you've made me interested in that Dwain Weston guy, and I've been searching for his full uncut death video for over 3 hours  Can't find it though.

Re: Forget What a Ripcord is ?
I know, I have tried myself. Someone on here told me that there is a skydiving instructor that shows it to his students from 5 different angles. It's out there somewhere, and just a matter of time til we find it.

Re: Forget What a Ripcord is ?
Very true Kellyhound. I understand that life is always a calculated risk, but............I am just a chicken shit I guess. It is very unlikely to survive an 800 foot drop, and more likely to be in a crash and die, but I will keep my ass on the ground. |

Re: Forget What a Ripcord is ?
Terrible to watch when these things go wrong  Dangerous sport. I did a tandem paraglide in Turkey and found out the terrible dangers afterwards!! Loved it though, it was fantastic  |

Re: Forget What a Ripcord is ?
The first one waited too long to open because of his confidence/lack of experience with a wingsuit. The second one was out of position when he deployed his pilot and it swung him into the building. The third was a bad jump plan to miss the bridge by 5 feet and no cut off plan to abort and pull up. |
