rajiv647 0 #1 March 16, 2006 I saw this video clip (http://blennus.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=438 ) in which a guy shoots a flare through his parachute and it catches on fire! Its funny, I like it and wondering if you may know the details of its owner or guy who posted it on the website. I tried contacting the website from where I found this, but the website people says that some one posted it there and they don't know who posted it. Since you know much more about parachutes than me, I will truly appreciate it very much if you may guide or help me in contacting the owner. Please email me at rajiv.amlani@gmail.com Regards -Rajiv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #2 March 16, 2006 That looks like the clip from MTV's Senseless Acts of Video. The jumper is Troy Hartman. It was just a stunt for a TV show. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orange1 0 #8 March 16, 2006 ok, ok, ok, my "bunny-hugging" attitude towards canopies is obviously in the minority here! Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #11 March 17, 2006 BTW, the complete clip from the show is available at http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=964. It contains a lot of detail about how it was done. Not as simple as shooting a flare at a canopy. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
