Krip 2 #2 February 4, 2012 Hi Format Very interesting. When he was sstanding on top of the chair by the rail I was telling myself I hope there's water below. But then I've been to the Eiffel tower there's no water there. Well maybe there was in 1912, but the dude died in 1912In a very sad way Franz did use a dummy for the jump. Format thanks for that page in history, 100 yr's ago today. One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

format 1 #4 February 4, 2012 I'm telling you, this guy wore a bra on his balls! My guess is that cameras were crucial element for him deciding to jump in before dummy. Respect... and learning. What goes around, comes later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skydivers, may have, and probably did cringe, but that, there is funny. EOSlisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
