you mean we cant really talk to each other in freefall?

[blewaway5 0]

Of course we can talk in freefall, how else could we cordinate chasing a whuffo down to hook up to their tandem harness? Geez, man, be careful or people will start to think we really can't talk in freefall.

If there's one part in that movie I don't get is when that one kid's rig got sabotaged.

I mean, how could a rig hang like that?

[blewaway5 0]

Ok, it's been a while since I've actually watched it, but from what my memory's telling me I believe the answer to your question is.....oh wait, I'm nowhere near a rigger, I don't have a clue.

What was the malfunction they gave him? Wasn't it something along the lines of one riser disconnected and then they followed it up with a hard reserve pull? If I'm remembering that right they did give that kid a rather rough day. All I really remember from that part was the dude cutting away and chasing the mal down to save him. Talk about falling fast!

Is this the one with the pink porter, and the forgetful TJM ?

What surprises me was that the mal. could have been prevented w/ a gear check before boarding.

And the hard pull reserve? Could have also been prevented

My favorite scene though is the "gift wrapped" CRW action

We had that plane at Deland for a couple of months this winter. We called it the "Wonder Bread" plane.

Drink beer and watch Dropzone. You can always do both. However watching college girls getiing drunk at the bar is far more entertaining.

I thought THE pink porter had been at SD Dallas for a while, they sold it to Austin Skydiving Center and it was crashed on the ferry to ASC (actually crashed AT ASC).

If you're into war movies, check out A Bridge Too Far w/ Sean Connery, and The Bridge Over the River Kwai w/ Alec Guiness (Obi Wan).

I like parachuting scene in A Bridge Too Far better, but The Bridge Over the River Kwai is a little more light hearted.
