Loading...
Uploaded by BIRDMANinc on Aug 17, 2007
On April 20th 2002 in Deland, Florida, parachuting history was made when a skydiver in freefall made a controlled link-up with a skydiver under a fully open parachute.

Crap!

@squirtrocks123 sorry but he pulled on his front risers to maintain the same sinking speed as the wingsuit guy.
-
I wonder how long it will take for this stunt to be in a bond film.
-
they have pods that can be used to assist a wingsuit jumper (there's vids here on you tube) so my question is why can't they use microrockets as retro rockets to arrest some of the speed on landing? im not a parachutist much less a wingsuiter (yet, im workin on it) but i'd think thats the major hurdle no? by which i mean translating forward velocity into the proper amount of drag in a flared landing. Or am i misunderstanding the physics?
-
Yeeaahh... where was the dock? I saw a flyby. Not much else.
-
I think some guy got killed testing an extra small canopy - he broke a line group or something and the force of the spin made it impossible for him to rescue himself. I wondered if it had anything to do with this "stunt"?
-
Yeah, wow - that is a tiny canopy!
Did they land those or transition to a larger canopy?
-
i didn't really see the dock

the dock was he managed to hold onto that ribbon under the dguys feet, its such an important event because it means that a wingsuit pilot can fall slow enogh to survive a landing. yes the parachute was very small but it was large enough to survive the landing, he'd just be in an icu in a coma with horrific leg injuries. But it does mean they are very close now to a parachuteless skydive where the pilot can land using only his wingsuit.
