Broke 0 #1 April 12, 2006 So what do you think? I was reading some old threads and i had this question pop in my head. Both of them survived, both of them went on tv talking about their "Ordeal."Divot your source for all things Hillbilly.

dqpacker 7 #2 April 13, 2006 I voted for "To close to call" But the real putz's in these case's are the media and Richerson's Boyfriend for putting her in that gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silverchic 0 #7 April 13, 2006 Verb status just pulls him ahead! How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #8 April 13, 2006 QuoteVerb status just pulls him ahead! Yeah, but wasn't it like his first jump and her 12th or so? Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silverchic 0 #10 April 13, 2006 Yes but she at least waited till 12 jumps to pretend she knew everything! He went straight from whuffo to know-it-all-about-skydiving in one jump!

diablopilot 2 #13 April 13, 2006 True, but Richardson is the type that could have been on Oprah (or Jerry Springer) even without the accident. Besides, Lutz ryhmes better with putz.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but by 12 jumps she should have known at least a little bit better. He gets a bit of a discount for having no more knowledge of skydivers (vs. skydiving) than a one-tandem wonder.

pilotdave 0 #16 April 13, 2006 No comparison. Lutz wins hands down. Lutz: http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=2885 Richardson: http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=3140 Dunno how you can even compare em. She had a reserve malfunction and got hurt. Mostly positive about skydiving and not nearly as innacurate as people make her out to be. Lutz, putz, period.

livendive 8 #17 April 13, 2006 QuoteShe had a reserve malfunction and got hurt. Has the story been revised? I thought she popped a toggle on her main and chopped it, then popped a toggle on her reserve and rode it in. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

pilotdave 0 #18 April 13, 2006 I don't remember if anyone ever posted a reason for the reserve to be spinning, but the slider was at least half way up... not likely just an unstowed brake. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbrown 26 #19 April 13, 2006 QuoteNo comparison. Lutz wins hands down. They should've run him over with a truck a couple times to finish him off. What did Eddy Murphy used to say long ago (I forget where) ? If you hit somebody, you gotta back up over them and then run them over again. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

hookitt 1 #22 April 13, 2006 QuoteYou have to ask???Klutz clearly cut away his main before the D-bag was even out of the container.I could go on but what would be the point. You see, that's not the problem with Lutz. The ripcord set up and the old training method of Arch - Look - Reach - Pull, is just asking a student to cutaway first. Don't look at something unless you want to pull it. The ripcord was on the hip, and the cutaway is in plane view. Lutz became a verb because of everything he did after that moment.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
