It takes a lot for some people to get some excitement.

That's about the last thing in the world you're going to catch me doing....

[Spots]

I'd be all over that in a heart beat. I love that kinda stuff

[Volzfan]

Thanks but no thanks! I don't have a death wish.

[Mr. Brooks]

Pretty cool. Of course, I've jumped out of perfectly good airplanes over fifty times now, so I'm a little wrong in the head.

[zapfbroad]

i think id rather jump out of the working plane with the bat suit & a helmet cam

[bubbiesdad]

Nothing wrong with that, as long as you have a parachute.

[Mr. Brooks]

Two of 'em. I just did my most recent jump this morning.

[Spots]

I've done 30 ft into the ocean from a hovering helicopter at night. That was......interesting. I've also done 87 feet, feet first into the ocean off a bridge in Japan. I can't wait to start the Pararescue pipeline and go to the static line and HALO/HAHO schools

[Mr. Brooks]

I'm jealous you're looking at HALO, all I get is static line.

If it's not burning, I'm not jumping!

As a retired aircraft mechanic, I can tell you there's no such thing as a perfectly good airplane. Of course, I'm a little wrong in my head, too.

I bet there's some serious G force involved. All joking aside, It may be something pretty cool for base jumpers. Most of them have to trespass to get their kicks.

I calculate 1.5 to 2 second maximum window for any error on deploying the chute, then your dead. Better have your hand duct-taped to that release to pop at apogee.

No joke.

I think that's the deal with base jumping in general. At least you have an apogee. Think about jumping from a 1200' guyed radio tower.

I know what you mean by that. I spent the last 5 years working on CH-46 Helicopters in the Marines. If its not low power, leaking oil, fuel, or hydraulic fluid, vibrating out of limits, or sending of random warning lights, then you better put your head between your legs, because its about to crash.

Is the pilot jumping? If he ain't I ain't.

[Mike]

Hell yes!
