Here's a pretty intense video of one of my employees from last weekend in Perris. He's sorta OK.



Some info on Frank -
  1. been jumping since '72
  2. coming up on 1800 career jumps
  3. a certified parachute rigger
  4. a National Championship Judge
  5. a participating member of the 100-way World Record last November in Florida


The video get busy real fast @ 1:45 and there's a fair amount of F-bombs around 5:48 for those with kiddies

..... someone want to improve this into a movie screen for me?

By "he's sorta OK" I mean he has a broken wrist and his arm looks like some one hit him with twenty bowling balls - purple, blue & green. The wrist broke in the wrap and not on the landing.

Frank was obviously the bottom guy on the stack. Three of them are on a regular competition team. The guy on top with the dark parachute is new to the CRW scene and this was his first docking sequence with a new, more responsive rig.

You might notice that he lost a shoe in the fall. A lot of the guys wear cheap, slip-on shoes to kick off in case of a wrap. Frank said that the mess would have been cleared earlier if he could have shed the other shoe.

Ouch! Even knowing he's okay going into the video, still left me a bit breathless for a second
