Paul Trowe's 2nd H.A.L.O. jump

[bshorty52]

how do you guys get your oxygen that high up?

[ptrowe]

@bshorty52 They have an oxygen tank in the plan. They start feeding it to us at 14k feet (they give us 40% oxygen through a mouth piece each person wears) and then at 18k feet they open it up to 80% oxygen. We continue breathing it right until the time we jump out the plane's door.

Hope that helps!

[OakleyHenke]

@MrTk900 In Sweden there is no specific age for tandem skydiving, but when u r gonna do the AFF course u have 2 b 15. (Donno where you live though)

[Colingoesfast]

Great Jump!!!!!

Really quick, can someone go over what the specifications are for a jump to be classified as HALO. Like from what altitude do u have to jump from and what altitude do you have to open the chute???

[ninemen123]

I think what he means is although it's a halo, it's a long way off 30,000 feet, kind of a malo a mid altitude low openin jump :)

[KEITHRICHARDSFAN101]

i really wanna do that

[iwanttofight69]

is halo more dangerous, oh and how dangerous is parachuting

[ScoopCKM]

Awesome! I counted that as 1 min 20 seconds of freefall. Achieving that whilst freeflying is pretty damn sweet. My max freefall to date is 1 min 5 seconds and that was flat flying from 15k. Nice one!

[ptrowe]

Umm, yeah, it was...we jumped from 21,000 feet and I filmed it under USPA regulations. O2 was started at 14k feet at 50% and increased to 80% until we got to 21k feet. So please, if you don't know what you're talking about, keep your comments to yourself.

[TheFishe2112]

thats not a HALO jump

[Muzztein]

yes it is, you fool

[adster2010]

Wonderful video. Great job on the HALO jump as well. Hope the best of luck to you on future jumps!

[wyoming99]

Mr. Trowe we salute you.. impressive.. at what height do you pull the chord?

[ptrowe]

you can hear my 2500' alarm go off on that jump so I guess I pulled my pilot chute around 3500' feet since it takes about 1000' to open.

[micsimus]

cool jump m8, would you ever have time to deploy a reserve chute when opening that low?

[Chronobeanz]

i'm waiting for someone to try and do this in a Master Chief costume (and then get crowbarred by someone in a Gordan Freeman Costume (don't start a HALO vrs HL argument over it, it's just a joke)

[memorex3248]

must be a civilian term.

In the military H.A.L.O. stands for High altitude low oxygen.

Which is mainly used for Spec. Ops.

[ptrowe]

actually HALO stands for High Altitude Low Openning (sp?)

[memorex3248]

meh, iv heard it used both ways. No clue wat the real term is.

Im goin for USMC special forces n we do this all the time. 3rd Force Recon "Swift, Silent, Deadly"

oorah

[ptrowe]

wow then you're dumber then we are! lol

[memorex3248]

lol damn streight.

takes a speciaL kindof crazy to do this and land in the middle of a battle field.

[jonnyknight1988]

Its low opening mate dont know what they teach you in america but its wrong

[memorex3248]

i honestly dont know. Iv heard it used both ways. Officialy and unofficialy.

Eaither way its still the smae kick ass insertion tactic. Got to love it

[jonnyknight1988]

Amen to that! Can't wait, got my medical soon for the british paras, Gunna give it my all cos i want to do crazy stuff like this haha.

[memorex3248]

ha, good luck man. mabey see ya on the battlefield on day.

Oorah!

[andrewgarcia86]

never heard HALO in both military and civilian contexts being high opening low oxygen...always low opening.

anyways, awsome vid...that's a long ass jump especially freeflying! was at skyfest 2008 but did some balloon and chopper jumps instead of HALO...will do it next year!

[gaara1007]

that's not what it means.

[seamus131]

you must not be in the military fuck nut

[memorex3248]
