Title: Re: SOoo much could go wrong so fast. Post by justin_o_guy2 on 09/13/16 at 12:35:36 It's only half as scary as the first time I watched it. This time I only had to cover one eye. |

Title: Re: SOoo much could go wrong so fast. Post by jcstokes on 09/13/16 at 18:38:04 I wouldn't watch it at all, despite the fact that I've had three lots of aerobatics in a Tiger Moth bi plane and a tandem parachute jump from 12000 feet. Edgey things unsettle me. |

Title: Re: SOoo much could go wrong so fast. Post by justin_o_guy2 on 09/13/16 at 18:50:20 Wise move, Stokes. I've worked derricks on oil rigs. Climbed across to tie onto dropped stands of pipe. No safety, just wet cold steel.. I could Do that... but watching a life threatening Stunt? Not without getting Nervous. |

Title: Re: SOoo much could go wrong so fast. Post by justin_o_guy2 on 09/13/16 at 19:31:47 You'd hafta inhale at Least four times to scream all the way down from 12,000 feet. |

Title: Re: SOoo much could go wrong so fast. Post by Ruttly on 09/13/16 at 19:44:03 I just wonder how many bricks it took to build that chimney! ALOT |

Title: Re: SOoo much could go wrong so fast. Post by justin_o_guy2 on 09/13/16 at 19:59:11 They were Free after it was 200 feet tall. The guys working there were shitting bricks every second of the day. |

Title: Re: SOoo much could go wrong so fast. Post by Kris01 on 09/13/16 at 20:24:45 Just saw a report on the news about workers in China building the world's highest suspension bridge at over 1800 ft.! Remember, a quarter miles is 1320 ft. :o |

Title: Re: SOoo much could go wrong so fast. Post by jcstokes on 09/13/16 at 22:09:20 Kris01, the cheap jump was from 7500 feet the 12000 footer wasn't that much dearer, so more bang for the buck. I think the tandem guy opened the chute at 7500. I think you can go to 13000 and a bit before you need oxygen. |

Title: Re: SOoo much could go wrong so fast. Post by mpescatori on 09/14/16 at 05:28:36 When I got my jump wings the jump was from 400m altitude = 1300ft. But the parachuted opened automatically... immediately ! From 12000 or 13000 ft... There's a road mountain pass in India that's 16000 ft, so I guess you could happily jump from 12/13000 and sing your way down and open your chute around 2000-1500 in full safety... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khardung_La http://makrandtraveldiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/DSC04396.jpg http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Xhb-WdFfqdo/SoxCx0xtkbI/AAAAAAAAFdw/cX5pRie3Pro/s800/Mission%20Khardungla%20033.jpg :o ::) :P Need a bigger tnak... atkn... kant... :-X [gasps for air] TANK !

I've jumped from a little over 14000 ft. In Colorado without needing extra oxygen. Ok, it was standing on a mountain top but it still counts! ;D |
