That just made me laugh really hard, just because I thought of that video clip with Ben Stiller being the obsessive stunt double for Tom Cruise.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

kbordson 8 #12 May 7, 2006 But... was it real? If so, someone has to know who did it. This is a small community. OR was it CG? And why was he pulled out of the building with a fully inflated canopy to have it be partly collapsed in the next clip? Cool scene though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zipp0 That's what happens when you jump from less than 300 meters, or whatever ridiculous height they were trying to say was the absolute minimum he could safely jump from. Apparently, when you try to open your chute too low, it just surges all over the place, like you're caught in a tornado, until you reach the ground.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.

Yeah, I think that was the world's longest snivel. Remember, if that happens to you, try to snag your canopy on a street light.
