clicky

"The Englishman fell like a shot pheasant for two long seconds. He then drew his small pilot chute, which caught, filled with air, and released the blossom of his main canopy" (refering to the burj jump)

that is a dirty high puller from 2000'.

nothing like a litte mis-understanding

That error's now been changed on the website... He fell for ten seconds. Not such a dirty high puller after all.

maybe he should have taken a shorter delay. it may increase the object hazard, but I'd rather fly to the other side of the fence to avoid security.

lol,, i saw the video,, he took a sweet delay, i was making fun of the press for butchering it as usual. for those that have not seen the video, it still gives me the chills,, great freakin jump
