Which skydiving stunts do you consider to be more dangerous than playing Russian Roulette?

I will say that throwing cards out of the back of a C-130 is about one of the most fun things I've done with a rig on…

Like the ultimate game of "52 pickup?"

Or did you mean cars?

I think the only thing on that list which is a real no go for me is the flaming canopy thing... personally after having experienced melting liquid nylon a couple times... I am thinking being in the sky with that crap dripping all around you would be a little more than I want to experience in life.

[JohnMitchell 16]

Yeah, although it would be dripping behind you, I think, or straight up as your rate of descent increased.

I'd make sure to chop before I lost all drag on the risers. I'd probably disconnect the RSL on that one.

I'd probably disconnect the RSL on that one.

Wise choice

I jumped blindfolded, and they were supposed to talk me into target with a giant bullhorn, which broke about the time I left the aircraft. Another jumper was supposed to hookup with me, and he overshot, and I had no idea where he was. I decided I had done 30 seconds of freefall, and opened my canopy. I had no idea what the winds were, and I just fly blind. Finally i hollered WHERE AM I? No answer, I hollered again and hit the ground. I refused to take the blindfold off and flew by luck ten feet beside high voltage lines. I was lucky, but my motto is Forge Ahead, and Dont Back Down. I sure would have been fried if I had been ten feet closer . Good for a laugh...close doesn't count. Bill Cole D-41, aka Chuteless 2 AND 3
