i hate you.

That was evil.

An unconscious skydiver (usually after hitting another skydiver) will fall in one of two positions. Either faceup, bent over at the waist with arms and legs tariling upward, or facedown, bent backwards slightly, arms spread to the sides and legs bent back.

But if you're asking about somebody not in freefall, but with a deployed canopy suddenly shot full of holes... I don't know. Depending on what kind of damage was done to the canopy, just about any kind of tumbling might be possible.

If you shot a parachutist, wouldn't he just slump in his harness. Even if the parachute did collapse it'ld still keep him in the upright position.

Every so often I get the erge for some model rocketry. Ribbon chutes still stabilise the falling rocket.

It would be very unlikely for the chute to detatch completely, and even if it did you'ld still have the shrouds

raaaid should get an award (gold start) for this one!

Who knew he could 'catch' so many in his net?

Ill bet if raaid posted a thread asking how high is high he would get some to not only post but argue the point!

Nice work raaid! ;)

I get the feeling that he is maybe 10 years off being allowed to drink, let alone smoke illicit substances...

A comprehensive DCG, SP content is laughable at this time.

Someone needs to find out who Raaaaid's doctor is and tell him he's obviously not taking his pills. . . or taking too many.

I just put them on ignore,, the thread should have been nuked..
IMHO
