Plan it properly and that won't happen! We see this at Bridge Day EVERY year! If you don't know how to do a multi-way safely, then ask someone who does before you end up on the list Unsure

That was STUPID.

OK. Before doing a multi-way, make sure of the delay time each member will take. If it is terminal, make sure one tracks left and the other tracks right.

Stupid crap like that should never happen. They could be two idiots on the bounce list.

Really. Example: I take a 4 second. You take 6 seconds. Or whatever. I remember when Jon Bowlin was the first one to die in an entanglement. Both jumpers were really good. I don't remember the details, but dumping in somebody's face is way more uncool in BASE than at the DZ. You dump in somebody's face at a DZ and you will end up jumping by yourself.

Bowlin's death might have been due to a sniveling opening. You should be aware of that as well.

I see this stuff on Youtube a bunch now. Geez. Be competent. It isn't that hard.

Getting killed on the legal cliffs is going to lead to them becoming illegal. I have seen it happen.
