Leonardo DiCaprio/Oprah/Tandem Info?

Recommended Posts

I had a non-skydiving friend who said he recently saw a replay of DiCaprio on Oprah. Said he had a "near-death" experience and went into a story about a tandem jump he did. Sounds like they had a reserve ride and supposedly some sort of problem with the reserve canopy too. He said he was 21 (that would make it summer 1996). Does anyone know anything about the jump? Where-when-the TM, etc??? Just wondering.

The way he tells it the closest scenario I can come up with is this:

He's exits the plane alone and has a mall on his main. He's unable to fix the problem despite his intimate knowledge of parachuting equipment and impromptude attempts at major rigging work in freefall. An instructor swoops over and is also unable to make it work (unsurprising given the heroic DiCaprio has already filed) so he phisically cuts the cords which are retaining the old parachute.

Presumably DiCaprio's reserve also fails as the instructor then hooks up to him and they both use the instructors main.

Odd really because all I thought happened was he did a tandem where the main had a mal and they landed the reserve without further event. He'd probably have done well to realise what happened at all without being told about it.

maybe the Leo dickhead who sucks mine thought that what keanu did in point break was real so he had to live up to his superior and fabricate something for all the nanas that love him to remeber that he is a super hero......
Or maybe Leo just wanted to be the dick head he really is.

Or mabe it is just one of things that can only happen in america:P

sorry, but this is the guy that made titanic one of the most watched movies in the world...you know whenever you went to your grandmas she was watching leo, or your mates house and his sister was watching it...there was a point in the 90's where this movie was everywhere you went, and i am sure there was crappy music in result of this rubbish.
Just one of those movies that i wish was not around in my existince.
