CAUTION: 3-way Waterfalls.
3-way waterfalls can of course be friggan sweet, but one wrong move can turn them nasty!!! Please make sure your timing on exit is PERFECT. Props and cheers to GB #4 for staying alive. Crazy

not quite what he meant. while yes, that is a 4 way jumping a waterfall, but not the same. he means that one person (1) would essentially PCA another jumper (2)as their own parachute is opening, and then 2 would pca another jumper (3) as (2)s parachute opened. and then finally 3 would pca a fourth jumper. gets complicated PirateCrazyUnsure

Not just the timing, but also the dynamics. Different jumpers will launch out from the object at different points in their "leaning out". That means different speeds at exit, so that even if you get the timing right, you can still get screwed.

Doing a waterfall (not the wet kind) jump of any sort without doing it several times as a conventional N-way, to work out both the exit timing and the dynamics, is a really, really bad idea.

Nicrussell knows exactly wat im talking about. They do look very cool, but can be deadly. Had a buddy get turned on his back/side b.c the middle man left a lil early. Sketch city for surreee!

Just another stupid way to die :-)

How many do they stack on a CRW record now? I still asking why things like that is so funny and found worth risking your life for. If I die before mye time, I hope I manage to do it my selves, and not another fucker who do not do his job correct. Thats why I have tried to stay away from jumps where another fucker can make my day.

My first and only waterfall was from a 270ft antenna one night when we decided to get retarded. I broke my finger Frown
