wow.

I saw a video clip once of a guy parachuting with a camera on his helmet, and as he pulled his 'chute, he looked up and you could see the chute all tangled up and just flapping in the wind. He'd alternate between looking down at the ground beneath his feet, and up at his tangled parachute. As he got closer and closer to the ground, you could hear him start panicking and yelling, and looking back and forth between the ground and his chute faster and faster. When he got really close, he started going into a bit of a flat spin and then he hit the ground. The camera went a bit static-y for a second, then he stood right up and started yelling, "YEEEEAAAAH!!!!". Pretty sure he was perfectly fine. Freakin amazing. - Tue, 13 Feb 2007 7:37am

The only thing that saved the skydiver?!? The blackberry bushes cushioned his fall. WOW!!! That reminds me of that poor guy who accidently fell out of a window and fell 17 floors and survived it. And to think if you fall 2 stories you can kill yourself, it's all in how you land. - Tue, 13 Feb 2007 12:10pm Edited: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 12:11pm
