Rescue 911-Episode 101 "Parachute"

MAN IF I WAS THAT BOY I WOULD BE SO SCARED

[skyrush]

I taped this show on my VCR just after I started skydiving in 1989, and I remember watching it over and over! I later met Greg Robertson while jumping in Colorado. This episode was a cool part of my collection of memories back when I had only a relatively low number of jumps.

And, @gavinb9999: he could not have held onto her while opening his parachute - the forces are too great. I've tried this twice (it's called a "Mr. Bill" jump), and it was only successful when at very subterminal speed.

[gavinb9999]

he could of held her and pulled his shoot to avoid more damage to the girl and to land safely but the thing that matters is that he saved her life

@gavinb9999 nah man that wouldn't work you decelerate from 120 to 20 mph in a few seconds when you deploy, and he wouldn't be able to turn or pull the brakes before touching down so they'd come down probably harder than she did.

I first read about this in elementary school. It was a very nice picture book titled "Three American Heroes." I'm a senior in High School today.

@Buffy8Fan Those episodes with more than 2 stories were one hour long.

[liljana21]

such a scary situation to be in.

that is why i don't like parachutes, god knows if a person faints or it won't open.

the other parachutist diver is a hero for risking theirown life for her.

20 years since the show first aired. Wow! This is something.

I remember reading a book about this event, but I can't remember what it is. Amazing story.
