Brant Gaede Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Well, I can't imagine doing those things. It's like another planet. I see no moral dimension to killing yourself for an adrenaline thrill, but obviously I'm no adrenaline junky. After my brother survived a double malfunction skydiving in Yugoslavia in 1970, he sold his equipment. Growing up he had a reckless streak and I was "much more sensible" (quoting our mother). I did do 13 static-line jumps in the army, the last out of a helicopter. Army riggers carefully fold and pack each chute. Right after Vietnam I visited my brother at Camp Pendleton on my way home to Arizona. We went to his skydiving outfit at Lake Elsinore. He just stuffed his chute into its bag. Some kind of macho thing. PPP = PPP (piss poor preparation = piss poor performance). He didn't jump that day, to my relief.--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brant Gaede Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Oh, if you're hooked to a static line your chute will open though it might "Mae West." Just scream all the way down. It will be over soon enough. --Branthaven't jumped since '66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Troy Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 The impact while free falling and me colliding with the duck broke MY rib, and I almost passed out because it knocked the wind out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Frankly, I'm feeling more sorry for the duck than for your freaking rib!Did you at least hang on to the duck and have him for dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brant Gaede Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Actually, colliding with a flying duck while skydiving could be fatal. I've seen what birds can do to a small airplane--windshield and wing. Canada Geese set up "the miracle on fhe Hudson." Jules could have been pushing 200mph when he hit the duck.--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why he hit it!--Brantduck (verb): hit a duck by ducking (ducking a duck--not to be confused with fucking a duck even though the duck gets all fucked up and not in turn to be confused with ducks fucking; that's between the ducks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
