pop 0 #26 July 3, 2003 Quoteno, he hasnt...thats what he told me on the phone. Does he have the wire running around the waist through the arms sleeve? If so, how does he let go of the rig and hang in it with his feet. Also he deploys out of the rig. How would you deal with a malfunction in ths situaation. I am just curious to learn his trick of the trade.7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuteless 1 #27 July 3, 2003 he told me he had the wire running through his sleeve to the saddle. In order to put it on ( my guess) is that he has a quick release to disconnect the wire once he has his arm through the harness..from there is the ususal procedure...but he is never "unattached" from the harness, either by wire or holding it. We didnt actually dicuss the finer details, but he admitted he has it on a wire..at least at the start. When I proposed doing one totally without...his comment was " Boy I would REALLY have to get some BIG bucks for doing that". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazyfrog 0 #28 July 3, 2003 reminds me of this famous french stuntman who trained for a SUPER SCARY stunt, climbing down a rope ladder from a glider to another one... every practice he made with a chute on his back went fine... when he demoed it without the parachute... he fell... the other stuntmen with parachutes on didn't manage to catch him before impact.. I think it was Remy Julienne...---------- Fumer tue, péter pue ------------- ourson #10, Mosquito Uno, CBT 579 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #29 July 6, 2003 When Greg Gasson was first doing base jumps early in his jumping career (~mid '80's) he smacked back into a wall and was slightly injured. Because he had to be 'rescued', there was a newspaper story about it. He made the mistake of mentioning how he was going to be in trouble from his mom! He took a lot of shit from the other guys at the DZ (Larry Hill's Wild Horse West) for that.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonybrogdon 0 #30 July 23, 2003 Jimmy Smith did a chuteless jump as a stuntman on the TV show "That's Incredible". He connected with Dar Robinson who hooked up simular way you would hook up a tandem.

chuteless 1 #31 July 24, 2003 the only chuteless jumps on "Thats Incredible" that I have ever heard about was done by James Tyler(or Taylor) and he was the 2nd guy who did two of them. I talked to Dar Robinson and he never mentioned anything about doing or helping to do a chuteless jump. I would like to know more about this IF its true.

cutaway1 3 #32 August 25, 2003 The first chuteless jumper was Rod Pack. I was there and saw it all, it was at Arvin Ca., I believe around 1965. Harry Haynes flew the Cessna 206, I believe, He had his flying liscense suspened for allowing the jump from his plane. Rod was a professional Hollywood stuntman at the time with only around 300 jumps. It was big world wide front page news at the time. He received $20,000 for the jump, alot of money at the time. Bob Allen, his best friend, passed a belly ward reseve to him in free fall. They exited around 14,000, Rod got the reserve at around 10,000. Harry Small, the rigger, made a special harness for Rod that had 2 D rings the pointed out to clip the reserve onto. Rod opened around 300 ft. He said after ward that if the reserve didn't work, he didn't want alot of time to think about it. Rod was a big hero after the jump, and a hell of a guy.

He did it twice, once landing under one canopy after hooking up with Bill Parsons. They left from different A/C. The second time he caught and hooked into a rig thrown from another A/C. Dar Robinson did a plane to plane jump, but he wasn't the first on that.My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonybrogdon 0 #34 August 26, 2003 Sorry about the name - It was Jimmy Davis not Jimmy Smith.

CoppD3091 0 #35 March 4, 2004 Quote It was over Wellington Oh, in 1972, I know this because I was there and we used my dads place for the landing site instead of our normal DZ. The jump was from 12500 out of a C185. Bill Cole used almost all this to get the chute. He was a good guy but not so good at RW. There were 2 safety jumpers with extra d-rings and risers to hook up if something happened, like a premature opening for the man who went base with Bill's chute, or if he lost hold of it in freefall.

That's where Dav3e had his house. Apparently he just sold it though since he is living in Austraillia with his new wife, Hellinahandbasket & their new little girl. His house in Redmond was so cute though since it was all paneled in Cedar. It smelled like my mouse cages, in which I always used cedar chips. It somehow seemed so appropriate seeing as Dav3e is such a little mouse! He was recently in DeLand for some length of time, trying to beat his record of 15 Cessna formation. Haven't heard the latest, but I am going out to DeLand on the 6th for my B-day and that of my SO's Carl Daugherty, whose B-day is on the 15th of April. So everyone send him an email. His address in cdaugherty2@cfl.rr.com. Unfortunately since Joe Morgan just lost his life on March 16th, it will be more of a memorial event rather than a B-day celebration. Apparently the Joe Morgan memorial stuff will be on the 10th of April. There is a memorial website for Joe Morgan at: http://www.bingen.org/Joe/ There will be a symultaneous ceremony at Perris Valley since apparently Joe Morgan was also a Perris getto guy for a while.
