Safe Descent without a Parachute: POSSIBLE dynmicpara

[guitarhamster102]

There is a 3/1000000 chance BOTH your main and reserve fail. If you're one of those people, well, sucks to be you.

[givemeatopcomment]

My left ear is so jealous right now.

[Diviniteee]

why was my left ear left out?

[xloebx]

lol mythbusters =)

[SumoChild64]

Lol? I saw this on mythbusters yesterday XP.

[sjktss]

If you are a jumper with a double malfunction... hell, it just means that your time is up.

[TheCombatFetus]

that was so loud

yt keeps taking down my sexy vids!!!! 2

[nail20619]

what season and episode is this?

[TheRealSavior666]

also the raft in the movie was smaller

that makes a differences

[dynmicpara]

Let's find out with R&D instead of speaking from your prejudices.

[arshsingh1984]

But Indiana, Willie and the kid from the goonies jumped while the raft was still inflating; and,... there were 3 ppl (well, 2 adults and one child)

im just sayin:P

[dynmicpara]

Don't forget Kate Capshaw's breasts can act as a cushion, too.

[Civsuccess2]

Remember there's a reference to Indian God using its supernatural power to bring Indy to the village? Perhaps, Indian God saved Indiana Jones?

[Catapultandclingfilm]

indiana jones is fictional........maybe the script saved him

[dynmicpara]

This video is FACTUAL...maybe air bags can save jumpers with double malfunctions...

[fluffy1696]

just kinda curious, how do you know that the bones and skelitical structure in the dummy react the same way as that of a human?

[dynmicpara]

The goal is to get the G forces down to levels known to be non-injurous (sic) to humans.

[ugslug]

The dummys have been built to replicate the human skeletal structure. Eg artificial limbs with artificial bones (metal, plastic etc)

[DemonHide]

A good way to do it is to get materials that are rated at bone density, which could be tested by breaking bones and the material and measuring the breaking point with sensors. Is it perfect? Nope. But as dynmicpara said, we know with enough certainty that certain Gforces will be lethal/non-lethal, so we have those instruments in there, too. How are they tested? Beats me, you can find that out.

[tomterahedrob]

uh oh.Chutes cant sit?Ive got about 20 I sealed up in garbage bags and put in 5gal buckets.Theyve been sitting for aout 9 years.Does this mean theyre ruined even if they have no mold spots on them?They were made in 1995.some are t-10s others are ram air.

[benanaman]

This CAN be done... but this was luck! It landed flat, but if it had landed nose down it would have accelerated and crunched into the ground like a spear............

[dynmicpara]

But CAN you READ? READ the video description. Most parachute malfunctions have SOME canopy that opens so person falls BACK-FIRST so an air bag there would be in position to work.

[realbrent]

These guys are pussies. Someone should have tried it for real.!

[dynmicpara]

Haha! Good sense of humor. However, the truth is that we CAN develop an air bag that would safely decelerate a paratrooper whose parachute failed, too bad Colonel Stapp wasn't around to show us it could be done!

[attilathenoob]

you could hold on, but maybe your moving might fuck it up, or even one gust of wind will kill you

[dynmicpara]

The idea is to integrate air bags as a final safety device at your back in case your main and reserve parachutes fail so it would be securely attached to where it needs to be to save a life.

[CoKoJl]

i'm gonna make that one and jump :):)

[Johnsonss5]

yea.... At first in the beginning part, it was Jamie in the white shirt. When it landed and they were walking over there, it was Grant.

[ajgebhardt]

yeah and then they are all 3 over there at the end. nothing weird about that. they just didnt show grant at the beginning

[fyrenwater]

awesome.

am i imagining things, or is that guy in the white shirt Grant Imahara? it sounds like his voice, but i couldn't get a good look at him.

[greengirlelphie]

no it was, you were right
