Wow...carnage!!!!

Is it the air-blast that's sucking the front row onto it's butt before the exit already? Must have been incredibly fast, cause most flockers even stay on level with the plane while tumbling...

Glad that everyone got out okay (besides financialy...how much did this exit cost? repack, suit, camera-helmet etc)??

where is now Bob Saget?

[Buried 0]

btw it was two ruined wingsuits (but repairable) and also three stitches

*edit - what this the same footage that Omar copied of the guy? it looks pretty much the same, but I thought you could see the second premature better

Where is my fizzy-lifting drink?

I was the asshole with the purple and black Wings who had the super premature!

The cost was:

One blown main canopy, one lost camera with some cool BASE footage (very pissed about it, no back ups), damaged suit.

The free stuff:

Stitches on my ankle (free at the WFFC!) (the damn thing is still not healed), free reserve repack (I pack my own crap), free 10-day sored neck, free pain killers from Tony, and the lifetime thrill of almost killing myself!

Lessons learned:

Back up your footage.

Don't do 200 Knts exit with WS. If you do, don't wear a camera and don't use the BASE pouch, and make sure other pilots don't rush the exit.

Wow. You guys are lucky no-one was seriously injured or worse.

Watching it reminds me of the old phrase; "ass over teakettle"

Which is about the weirdest phrase I've ever heard. Where the hell did it come from? I'm not putting my ass anywhere near a teakettle...

From http://www.whooya.net/weekly_euph.htm

Ass over teakettle is one of many variants of an expression meaning 'head over heels; topsy-turvy; in confusion'. The usual British version is ass over tip (or tit).
The earliest known example of the phrase is in an 1899 book about Virginia folk exressions, which defines "ass over head" as "Head over heels; topsy-turvy." (Note that "ass over head" is a logical expression for a messed-up situation, as opposed to "head over heels," which would seem to be the natural order of things.)

So teakettle = head?

I feel i must correct your use of the already bastardised english language mate, the correct term as per my understanding (i'm from the old country) is Arse over Elbow. anything else is fraudulent., although in recent years in england arse over tit is becoming more common.

i have also heard knob over nose, but not that often.

Thanks to all involved ... that is truly one of the funniest exits I have ever seen!

I would love a big screen and slow motion, glad you guys are relative okay and I am sorry over the lost footage but then again, that is some fantastic footage.

Again, one of the more aggressive exits I have seen.

Thanks!
