Islandcool 0 #1 June 19, 2003 So someone sent me this. Don't know if it true or not but entertaining. On one of my early AFF jumps I felt something in freefall. It was slapping against me and I didn't know what it was. I had thought the harness broke and I was gonna die. I pulled expecting the worst. When everything was ok I looked down and I realized what it was. The belt on the water gear had broke. Too funny when I think back on it. Take care Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyer299 0 #7 June 19, 2003 I did watch a show on Discovery Channel that actually proved that this was possible. They didn't try to proove that it actually did happen, but they did make it happen. It was kind of cool. It was a short lived show called Myth Busters. Think it had about 4 episodes. They did all kinds of neat things, including recreating the Chevy Nova with Jato rockets. They actually riged a car up to be controlled by remote, strapped rockets to the top of it and then chased it with a Helicopter (so the guy with the remote control could keep controlling it). The car out ran the helicopter, but it didn't get air born and smoke as the myth suggested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerm 0 #8 June 19, 2003 see the way i heard the myth originally was not that he got airborne, but just that he ran out of road and into a stone wall... and that his brakes had basically been burned up in the process. Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 220 #9 June 19, 2003 Too Funny... Sounds like some one I know... But I would have to get a divorce if I said the name...I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
