Trying to look for videos, but cant find any... anywhere :( Can someone please post any url you may have bookmarked? THANKS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pchapman 279 #3 May 13, 2009 Collapse from braking too much or collapse due to turbulence? Both are valid issues but causes tend to differ. Edit: Also search for "dust devil" on skydivingmovies.com. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
