Raveni jokingly says...

Because that buddy could knock you out by kicking you in the back of the head?

... good point. Sorta meant the guys who made sure he was in the right position and popped his chute, but your angle is valid.

Why does this not have more votes? This footage is sensational and unique. Would promote if I could.

Hipnotic says...

When they say "certain death" that's really just typical objective news sensationalism, right? I mean his emergency chute would have automatically deployed once his gear detected he was at a low enough altitude and not slowing down, right?

I don't know much about the mechanics of skydiving, but I thought all skydivers had a backup/automatic chute in case of emergency.

Let me slap a *quality on there for you.
