what happened?

Recommended Posts

Okay, it was slow wednesday -- just us four jumpers. the two RW people decided to a "DOSIE_DO" while I filmed and another vidiot filmed as well.

We launched this from a C-182. The first vidiot was under the strut, I was all the way out and the two RW were in a modified float.

I quickly got slammed. (I caught up and made the rest of the dive) But what can you tell me so this wouldn't happen again?

Thankfully it was a nonrev fun jump!

You came off more floating on your back/side while the RW group funneled and accelerated. Nothing you can do in those cases if you are going to try and fly under the group except try to predict the funnel and knee/sit fly for a faster fall rate. Other option is not to get under the group but whats the fun in that? :P

If you were hoping to shoot from on top you needed to leave just a touch sooner and drive more with the legs.
