For those of you who know Elmo, he made another skydive out of Mullins King Air last weekend at the South Dakota Skydivers booge in Luverne MN. This is a shot of his body position on deployment. Damn Elmo!

Elmo has never gotten the whole tracking or pulling for himself thing down. You would think after more then 100 jumps he would start to put a little more effort into it. Lazy ass.

Sorry, I don't see it. What's wrong with his body position?

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

if i deploy like that no one would jump with me. must be a pretty good guy to have all of those people jump with him

if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?

It is a 14 foot cargo or drag chute. He decends at about 1300 feet per minute under it.

How does Elmo deploy? Does someone deploy him in freefall? FXC 12000? Sentinal?

Before or after the beer light?
