This guy isnt all that smart I am guessing, also I had never seen the way he pre-deployed his chute and jumps with it dangling down below him and sommersaults.[Luck]

Lol.. kinda cool actually.. Ive never seen it done like that either.
Wow, what a nutcase. So many ways that could have gone wrong.
It didn't appear to be his first go at this kind of thing...
He is not crazy just a little buzzed and one lucky sob

Woah! That was pretty sweet... I wouldn't have the balls to do that- maybe a packed chute but not a pre-deployed one, although looking at it, that might be preferable at a lower height.
i think the hammered routine was an act, for the camera. he had his shit wired tight. he knew exactly what he was doing and did it flawlessly.
I agree, I think he sober and putting on an act. I drove across that bridge recently.. Breathtaking views along the California coast from Santa Barbara all the way up to San Francisco.Quote:

Yeah, his perfect somersault deployed the canopy perfectly. But if he'd fallen off that ledge and down into his canopy.....dead meat. Plus the wind could have pulled him off. Or it could have gotten snagged on the bridge.....
Yup! That dude is fn waaaaaaaaasted!!!! [Beer]
So I don't get the big deal on why that is illegal?
So he wants to jump off a bridge, maybe his friends did it?? [ROFL1]

That's nuts. Good post. Wonder if they caught him?
show me the statute he broke
and i do think he was wasted
When I was a skydiver, USPA was only a membership thing, wasn't any "license" involved. Kinda being in the NRA. Ya pays your money and ya gets a card. Nothing else.Quote:

Now you gotta have your A card to buy new gear or get on a lift. I could see getting around this BASE jumping but don't think anyone would be that stupid.Quote:

Im pretty sure he had some beers in him. At the 2:20 mark he was wobbling a little! Definitely not his first rodeo though! Very awesome
