Looking for an old Wingsuit Malfunction video
highfly replied to highfly's topic in Wing Suit Flying
There was an old skydiving video from maybe 8-10 years ago where a guy had a mal and managed to free his reserve just in time to get it open before hitting the ground. I do believe he was German and wearing a yellow wingsuit. He almost hit a brick building when landing. I seem to think it may of been one of the Swedish boogies. I also seem to remember this guy having long hair and a goatee. he was a well known wingsuiter back in the days before youtube . The video was hosted on skydiving movies when it was up. Anyone with any ideas? www.myspace.com/durtymac -

This happened yesterday near Carterton in New Zealand http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/6226729/Fatal-balloon-crash-victims-named "Police have released the names of the 11 people killed in a balloon crash near Carterton. The 11 died when their Early Morning Balloons flight hit powerlines and burst into flames yesterday. They were this afternoon named as balloon pilot Lance Hopping, 53 of Masterton, Howard and Diana Cox, aged 71 and 63, of Wellington, Desmond and Ann Dean, 65 and 70, of Masterton, cousins Valerie Bennett, 70, of Masterton, and Denise Dellabarca, 58, of Paraparaumu, Stephen Hopkirk, 50, and Belinda Harter, 49, of Lower Hutt, and Johannes (Chrisjan) Jordaan, 21, and Alexis Still, 19, of Wellington. Wairarapa Area Commander Brent Register extended his heartfelt sympathies to the families of those who died in the crash. Police would remain in contact with the victims' families as they came to terms with their loss, he said. Photos of the victims would be released in the coming days. "These families are extremely shocked," Register said. A further two bodies were removed from the scene this afternoon, while another two were bought out by two hearses this evening, under police escort, and in torrential rain. The others would remain at the scene overnight, police said. " RIP www.myspace.com/durtymac

Sad stories from an Ambulance officer ...... "I became a triage officer deciding who was saveable and who wasn't. At the same time the CTV building was burning just in front of me" wrote an ambulance officer of the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquake. The unnamed ambulance officer, on the ground in Christchurch, sent this powerful email to NewstalkZB yesterday: I was sitting down studying. My weighted-down plasma screen went first and it just exploded. I tried to stand up and was thrown to the ground. Everything was broken. Checked on the neighbour, threw everything I could think of into the car, the dogs, and off I went to work. It took me 45 minutes to travel the 7km into the city. Got to the station. It was condemned, inundated with over a foot of mud. Went off to the triage centre in Latimer Square. Bodies were being piled up in one corner . . . I was given a patient . . . she'd fallen from the top of the CTV building to the ground. After a nightmare drive to hospital, we returned to Latimer Square . . . I became a triage officer deciding who was saveable and who wasn't. At the same time the CTV building was burning just in front of me. It was unbelievable with the smoke, the alarms, the sirens, the helicopters and the screams. The church opposite then collapsed following a large aftershock, narrowly missing a number of the fire and ambulance vehicles. Drugs were at a premium. Patients were arriving from everywhere. People were dragged out, carried out on doors, on shutters. Most injuries were severe, massive crush injuries. As we tried to make our way through the broken buildings and streets, a report came through that there were multiple trapped. On arrival I discovered it was the PGC building. A crew had arrived on the scene some four hours earlier and had been trying to manage with minimal resources and without communications. No-one knew they were there. They had already experienced horrific sights you cannot imagine. One held a man, gave him his cellphone so he could ring his wife. He told her he loved her, then he died. Another colleague was faced with a horribly entrapped man. There is no way he could be saved while we watched on hopelessly and helplessly and he slipped away through his horrible suffering. Our first patient brought out was a beautiful 20-year-old girl whose spine had been shattered. She was contorted horribly and was paralysed. She was in irreversible shock and lost consciousness as we went. I fought so hard with a surgeon to keep her alive. She didn't make it. Ad Feedback Our last patient had been pinned for some time by his legs. Crews . . . did every damn thing they could do to get him out. In the end a surgeon had to amputate both his legs. We waited desperately to get him into the vehicle. I drove as fast as I could on appalling roads that we could later not return on. He died as we arrived in hospital. In the meantime, another man had been pinned by his legs by a massive beam. We arranged to uplift all the necessary drugs to prevent crush syndrome. When we returned to him he was gone. The rain started. We were replaced. I wanted to stay but by now was working purely automatically. I returned to sign out and got taken back to my car which was now surrounded by liquefaction. I don't really want to live in Christchurch any more . . . http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/christchurch-earthquake/4703447/Ambulance-officer-tells-of-quake-horror www.myspace.com/durtymac

Ah . I took the pic and it was blurred due to my auto focus not working quick enough and that came out. I almost deleted it but I decided not too and have a look at home on a bigger screen. I did mess with it in Lightroom and I was pleased with the end result www.myspace.com/durtymac
