Brother Needs Vibes

Recommended Posts

Hey you all. I am bringing this over from the Safety and Training forum. One of our dz.com brothers and fellow skydiver is in need for some good vibes. I am sending good vibes his way. See below.

Quote

to my fellow skydiving family:
i come bearing a concern that i wonder how many of you can corroberate. last year i lost a friend, lisa gallagher, when her icarus crossfire hit turbulance and collapsed during the swoop compitition at the ranch.
this past weekend another incident occurred to a regular on this site that many of you may have seen. My dear friend "drewfus mcdoofus" or "airdrew20012001", as his screen name appears here often, was landing in slightly turbulent winds but in all other respects, a normal final approach. without any adjustments of his body the right half of his canopy collapsed and hooked him into the ground.
he is alive but in very critical condition. if it weren't for the camera helmet he was wearing for the tandem video he shot, he would be dead. his injuries are too gruesome to describe so be wary if you jump this canopy.
I am in no way slandering or intending to hurt the icarus company, i am just hoping that those who do fly this canopy will have safe landings. i realize there was a recall on a bunch for being out of trim. the collapse was perhaps a corrolation, or perhaps not.
i am writing to see if anyone out there has experienced or seen any other collapses in the air or near the ground under this or any other canopy, just to make some sense of this.
please share your stories and support for Andrew Logerwell at this time.
thank you all.
blue skies and soft landings
