That's why it's called the Mr. Bill "OH NOOOOO"... dude, glad you landed it. My buddy tried that a few weeks ago and his altimeter got ripped off his wrist, he's thankful his wrist didn't get caught like your foot. Really glad you survived this man.
holy shit, yea that had to freak you out. Cool you got untangled, and landed safely, but damn that had to make ur mind race faster than you were falling. cool video
@SW33TDR34M5 A Mr. Bill is where you go out and one of the people pulls while the other person holds on to him. So both end up under a parachute then the other person lets go to get that falling feeling. If done right they are fun if done wrong they can be deadly.
glad youre okay. by the looks of it the guy in the door was ascting as a static pull? my question is..."why the hell did you guys roll out instead of presenting correctly(the guy pulling facing the prop) into the wind?"
it has taken me a few mins to find out what a Mr.bill jump is but i think it goes liike this... two guys 1 guy hold on to the other rig they jump the other guy deploys and the 1st guy keeps holding on then lets go and freefalls right ?? do tell me if im wrong ??
Hey guys, good heads up!, we did lots of bill dives at drop zones around Portland Oregon around 1991, I'm here to tell you it can get ugly, I had two dislocated knees, I have video of me hanging on for five secounds and not getting ripped off mybe some kind of record, lost feeling in my hands for a week.Cool!
