Doh!

Walked away fine apparently.

I have seen some dopey things done over the years but that is one of the worst. I am glad we can laugh about it as he walked away... Lucky bastard ha ha ha

looks like on heading to me.
Take care,

The offheading must be the least of his worries, his trainer came flying off bad stuff..

Jumping in sneakers, not tying laces tight,
and doing a full floater on a solid object...
this lucky SOB deserves his own channel
on YouBoob

The audio of the guys on top is great and
what you would expect but the nonchalant
announcer was icing on this little debbie.

Thanks Zipit for my morning chuckle.

"he's fucked"

I think the music down on the ground is quite appropriate

hehe thanks guys. And then the little Malaysia guy on exit just turns to Gary C. and says "NEXT" hahaha

After much discussion with Franky after this jump it was very interesting that Franky was so addement that he had been trained to turn on front risers?
As we can see on these videos when you turn with your fronts your parachute will keep crashing into the thing you have just jumped off. As shown clearly here untill Franky gets on his rears ( about 10sec after turning and waving to his new friends) his canopy will not fly away from the hard stuff.
This building was about 2m over hung. It may have been possible for Franky to do this exit get on the rears and not even touch this thing.
If this ever happens to you please remember the guys at the top yelling "REAR RISERS"

Any idea who provided his training?

That was very vague from him Tom. Cpt Aziz keeps an eye on the Malays but Franky had come from Indo. He wouldnt give a direct answer and i suspected he may have started alone. Very tough little guy, very nice and was more worried about his wife finding out he was out jumping!!
