What you're seeing here is the preparation before being pulled into the air. I'm attached to the pickup truck by cable, then the guys make sure the parachute will inflate properly before taking up slack. Once that is done, the truck slowly starts moving forward and I start running. I get airborne, the guy with the radio tells the truck driver and they "hit it" by accelerating as quickly as possible. I get around 300 feet up and they "cut me loose." In theory, this is where I land correctly and all is well. I didn't...
At least some good came out of this. Every class after mine has a new video to watch. "What not to do and how Bryan Guidry did it." |
