k-dubjumps 0 #1 July 18, 2011 Just watched an episode where they investigate Michael Holmes of New Zealand surviving a double mal. They did a really good job of demonstrating why a PLF (referred to as a 5 point landing) is so effective, but not sure it was necessary to show Jan Davis' fatal BASE jump from El Cap. I clearly remember my dad telling me about her fatality many years ago . The show will be investigating another skydiver surviving a mal followed by landing in power wires next week. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/indestructibles/7003/Overview#tab-OverviewAdrenaline is my crack DPH #3 D.S. #16 FAG #12 Muff Brother #4406 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFKING 4 #2 July 18, 2011 Quotebut not sure it was necessary to show Jan Davis' fatal BASE jump from El Cap. <<>> I know ! I know ! For the same reason they advertised the show as "surviving a 15000 ft freefall". Glad Michael survived. And that looks like a beautiful place to jump.

I was glad to see he was all right in the end. But I thought it was a terrible show, They said both his reserve lines and main lines were tangled while still in the container and the jump was doomed from the start. I don't think you can PLF at 60MPH under a spinning canopy and what was up with the guy with the jacket in the tunnel trying to simulate being under two wrapped canopies? Every time I hear that a skydiver survived a 15,000 ft freefall, I just laugh. There was no reason to show the base fatality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites micduran 0 #5 July 18, 2011 Quote ...please tell me it's not Scott Lutz... just when I thought I forgot about himBe patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.
