building strikes
I thought it would be sort of fun to hear stories of people who hit an object and
a) went through a window into the object
or
b) ended up on a balcony and had to exit the object through the regular channels.
or
c) some other interesting tale....

I think there was one in Denver or somewhere out there, and I believe there was one in Calgary. Anyone with first-hand (or second-hand) knowledge?

Re: [skypuppy] building strikes
John Hoover, BASE 95, back in the 1980s, hit a building, went through the glass, landed on someone's desk, was proceeding to cut away when his canopy still hanging outside the building, reinflated and dragged him out. He hit the building two more times, landed on a two story building adjacent to it, got up, tied his lines to something on the roof, descended down the lines, abandoned the canopy, and fled the scene with slight injuries.
