flyhi 24 #1 May 5, 2010 How much altitude do you lose in 16 seconds during a two-way, leg-lock exit, sit, stand freefly jump from a C-182? I wuz just wondering.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hookitt 1 #3 May 5, 2010 2000 feet give or take. First 1000 takes around 10 seconds, the next thousand is around 5 to 6 seconds. The body position makes a difference especially on the next thousand feet. The flail position was definitely faster than belly flying. My guess the last person pulled at or just under 1000.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tylermx138 0 #9 May 5, 2010 Regardless of how dumb it was to pull that low, why go and land in the only muddy spot on that side of the road? Could have at least made one good decision during that jump. At least walk away clean ya know!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hookitt 1 #11 May 5, 2010 Wait till you accidently pull really low by accident. Personally I would not have landed there either, but, take a gander at the exceptional freefly talent exhibited. My guess is they had relatively low jump numbers My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #15 May 5, 2010 And that's not the most hairy of low pulls by a duo. I can think of two other jumps that went lower, much lower. The champ has to be the guy I think was named Frankie, at maybe The Ranch? Two way with a buddy, and they realize too late they are way too low, Frankie had video on, and his video showed him flipping over belly to earth and pitching the PC, and the canopy sniveled all the way to fucking earth! You could see the shadow on the ground and see that the slider was not all the way down when he pounded in. He was able to get up and walk, but I believe he compressed a vertebra in his back. Can't remember exactly. The other one I think was in California, of a head down two way. Both their cypres' fired, WHILE they were still HEAD-DOWN!!!

I know one of the jumpers (maybe both but I don't remember who the second jumper was. It was in the 90's ). He wore his cutter around his neck and shared his experience with many many people in hopes it would not happen to them.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...
