Amazon 7 #2 February 18, 2016 Personally I like having my parachute... when I am going 300 MPH... but deploying above the recommended speed on the damn thing REALLLLY HURTS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ONE time I borrow a pro-track and go hell-bent on going as fast as I possibly can, and pull out of the dive at 4000 feet, I was still going way too fast when I dumped. Friends on the ground clearly heard the whack of my Triathlon. Ow... sonofaBITCH!!! IIRC the top speed on the pro track said 224mph. Not bad for that one time for a 5'-6" 150 lb dude in a normal jumpsuit."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeJD 0 #4 February 18, 2016 DouglasBader No sh*t, there I was, 300 mph, and no parachute... What about the time you had to leave one of your prosthetic legs behind in order to bail out of that crippled Spitfire? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #5 February 18, 2016 Ouch, taking the barrier like that really hurts, but I'm glad he did it right. Did he get a pincheck before he lit 'em up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
