Flygator 0 #1 September 18, 2003 Since this hurricane Isabel is pounding my house, I've been giving alot of thought to maybe ...jumping into the eye of a hurricane. Sounds crazy? Man, but wouldn't it be the all time high??? Anyone have any thoughts about this? Anyone want to research it and jump with me??? Yeah, I know I sound drunk, but honestly, I haven't drank since my 5th child was conceived! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cassie828 0 #2 September 18, 2003 That would be sweet! But also insane. Not recommended. But if you do it and survive, let us know."Drink life as it comes - straight, no chaser." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Push 0 #4 September 18, 2003 Which reminds me of the incident of a student sucked into a thunderstorm. Now that would have made some video. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, I think with a well defined eye close to land...I just might pull it off... The secret to life is not arriving at the grave in a well preserved body but sliding in sideways completely worn out yelling "holy crap" what a ride!!!

lazerq3 0 #6 September 18, 2003 I thought the eye is suppose tobe beautiful weather while it passes over and then you get everything in the opposite direction...you dont think thered be a small window of OPP to jump it?? jasonFreedom of speech includes volume Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flygator 0 #7 September 18, 2003 SEEEEE! Jason thinks i could do it! Just getting a well defined eye close to or on land would work out great.

squirrel 0 #8 September 18, 2003 whos gonna fly that plane?!?! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harksaw 0 #9 September 18, 2003 I think there would be some severly fscked up air pressure in the middle of the eye. Altitude pressure changes can affect canopy openings and flight, so jumping in the eye might be bad. Yes i know you're probably kidding, but the eye looks in the pictures to be the size of New Jersey so who knows, it might be done.__________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks.

Tailwheel 0 #10 September 18, 2003 Quotewhos gonna fly that plane?!?!The Hurricane Hunters out of Tampa, Florida. They have a C-130, it's got a tailgate,sounds like a doable idea to me. Just got to get the crew to go along with it. They are dropping instrumentation out to measure the storm so just volunteer to take some live readings. Just remember to say "hey ya'll watch this" before you step out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flygator 0 #13 September 22, 2003 Yeah man the North Pole has already been done around 1993 or so. No one has done the eye of the storm. Let's get it going! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
