WFFC 1 #2 February 22, 2005 QuoteAlso, what is he saying at the end of the video? from my limited Spanish, it sounds like he's apologizing to the the tandem student for not getting their landing...----- ~~~Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #3 February 22, 2005 Bo, I'm a little surprised to see you post this. It's been posted at least twice. But it's still a good lesson in not giving up.

Bad sequence!!!!Lesson learned <<<<<<<< -------------------------------------------------------- I had to re play it to decide if the jumper had his camera mounted up side down (head down mounting). I believe his camera was mounted right side up. After opening he intentional flipped his feet up in to the risers, entangled and started spinning. His cutaway caused a horseshoe with his feet (obviously from the video his feet are up in the cutaway main). Glad his reserve cleared the mess and opened, well all but the left side. Did you see his arms and hands grabbing and reaching for reserve lines. Also his reserve handle was trapped in suspension line in front of the camera lens. ----------------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites dragon2 2 #13 February 23, 2005 Guys, just read the first post about this before speculating... It was NOT a line over on the main: he flipped himself upside down in his risers for the tandem video and then got stuck. The reason he swears in english is because he's american.
