jumpingjimmy 0 #1 May 10, 2006 to carry on from the locked "Bounce" topic, you can see somebody burning in on the Faces Of Death video. They have something out (possibly a main chute) but its just flapping in the wind as they spank in do a google search for Faces Of Death, you'll find the Dvd out there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davelepka 4 #2 May 10, 2006 Why carry on with this topic? Lets hope that nobody ever has to witness a fatality again, and leave it at that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #3 May 10, 2006 the question was silly at best. bounce once, you're dead. bounce twice, you're still dead. 3 times...is there a pattern here? Moral is - don't bounce. Use whatever combination of brains, planning, altitude awareness, AAD and RSL you see fit to give yourself the best chances. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpingjimmy 0 #4 May 10, 2006 to be honest, it's something i've wondered myself ! was "bounce" just an expression, or do people really do it? we all have a morbid curiosity, how many of us rubber neck at car crashes? if you can hold your hand up and say you don't, i'd say you're in the minority. having a morbid curiosity doesn't make you a bad person, it doesn't mean you're mentally ill, it just menas you are curious about life's way of making people feel shit, thats all.

unformed 0 #6 May 10, 2006 since you're honestly just curious... yes you do bounce. i've had a canopy collapse just under the tree line and i feel ten or twenty feet. luckily enough my side took the impact, but i bounced back up a few feet. i'm sure at terminal you'd bounce more. however, it's a pretty sick thought.This ad space for sale.

Zipp0 1 #7 May 10, 2006 Skateboarders and inline skaters bounce when they F up a big drop/jump. Motocross jumpers bounce if they come off the bike over a big jump. Personally, when someone is being a jackass and has a non-fatal albeit big crash on a skateboard, I can sometimes laugh at them. I have been on a mountain when a seriously injured/dying climber was brought down. The reality of that incident cleared the mountain for a while. Not much more to say on this one....
