Re: Parachutist Dies After He Hits the Ground During Landing
Think the experienced ones like to hotdog it a little. Believe there's a maneuver some like to do where they glide in fast for a landing, though it's obviously a little risky.

Re: Parachutist Dies After He Hits the Ground During Landing
I wonder if the chute malfunctioned or whether he was so confident that he misjudged it?  |
