Pisis you realise he died a few years later when he misjudged and hit the ground...

I thought it! He was way too crazy to survive...

Some good ones there Les. Mullen can fair skate!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

some good stuff, although i believe the lion one and the kite one you posted before, some of them karting and motocross ones ones were nasty! and that had to hurt coming down them stairs, did he mean to ride down them or turn away/stop??

 

[lesofprimus]

I may have repeated a few Lanc, and theres nothing wrong with that... Sometimes peoples dont see em, so the good ones should be repeated...

Not sure on the bike dude, but doing shit like that without a helmet is a sure fire way to make urself a vegetable for the rest of ur life...

 

[Pisis]

Morons... I hate people doing stupidities...

Some good ones there. The parachute doublefail is a perfect example of why I'll never jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.

 

[lesofprimus]

I'll tell ya Wayne, when it happened to me, when my reserve failed to completely deploy, I thought I was going to die.... I even said goodbye to my wife and son at about 400 feet... It was one, if not the most frightening experience of my life....

You know what I did the next day??? Jumped 3 more times....

 

[Nonskimmer]

Of course.

But that's you, I'm a big coward.

 

[evangilder]

I'm with you on that one, NS. Some cool clips.

 

[Gnomey]

Some good stuff Les. I would hate to have a double fail which is why I am also with NS in not jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'd love to give it a go but that must have been some scary shit les........

 

[syscom3]

I have 117 jumps to my credit.

Many of them were from a DC3. First time I jumped from one of those planes, I found out I had some oil splots on my face. Noone really tells you about the oil that is thrown out by the radial engines!!!

One time my main failed to deploy. In the few seconds between My cutaway of the main and deployment of the reserve, it was a surreal world. Everything moving in slow motion, my vision was super clear, every detail seen and processed. Then the reserve opened with a thump and I felt like someone hot me with a bat. Reserve chutes are designed to open fast and hard.

"If that chute dont blossom round, I'll be the first one to the ground......If that chute dont blossom wide, I'll be a splat on the country side"

 

[Nonskimmer]

And when that happens I'll be the one calling the clean-up crew, coz there ain't no way I'll be jumping out of an airplane door unless it's rolled to a full stop on Terra Firma.

 

[lesofprimus]

Thats quite a decent total syscom... Were these all military jumps, or combined with recreational???

 

[syscom3]

All recreational.

I started learning in 1981, using the old T10 military chutes.

They were at Elsinore and Perris Valley.

 

[lesofprimus]

Excellent... Glad to know someone else stupid enough to jump outta a perfectly good airplane...

I have 5 combat jumps and approx. 80 jumps under my belt...

 

[evangilder]

I know the area you are talking about syscom. I think I will keep my happy ass inside the plane, unless of course, the wing pops off or something catastrophic like that.

I could not imagine the feeling when that main chute doesn't do what it's supposed to.
