DSE 5 #76 November 15, 2008 I haven't read the whole thread, but I agree with your opinion, Phree. The other side is that if the USPA were to grant the RedBull guys a waiver, they'd have to do the same for others. Face it...most of the RedBull team are outstanding athletes aside from being very gifted skydivers. They probably *can* handle 400' demos without incident. But that doesn't mean that others can. 400' demos from a heli using the BASE gear seems quite safe, actually...safer than a BASE jump, and a jump from 1000' with a 400' opening is likely more safe than a BASE jump from an object as well. I'm sure a well-practiced pro can handle this, as could a unique military team with intense training. Yet...the camel nose/tent story is applicable here, IMO.
