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

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???

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 :)
-

is halo more dangerous, oh and how dangerous is parachuting
how do you guys get your oxygen that high up?

@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!

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.

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.
