johnmatrix 21 #9 February 22, 2012 Sorry if I am missing something here but - what the hell is the camera guy (Jeff?) using all those GoPros for? Is it for some special 3D configuration? The mounting is different from the 3D mounts I have seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murf62 0 #17 February 22, 2012 Although it would have made great footage, at least he saved himself a few quid by not having a foot mounted one on this occasion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrCat 0 #18 February 22, 2012 He had an ankle mounted one. The one on his chest survived too. A load of twists on opening as well - not a good day...Jump more, post less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pitching the pilot chute 2 seconds later would have been a bad day. He knocked on Death's door twice on the same jump, and now is staring to walk with crutches.
