I hope this will discourage people from skydiving...a moment of silence for the unfortunate man...

poor guy, have you seen that guy who had his parachute not opening and later when he landed he landed in powelines video?

 

[iDust]

dear god.. i was going to go skydiving for my birthday.. not somethin you wanna see before goin..

 

[maladroit2000]

People who do it always say its a relatively safe sport but the only two people I have known who skydived were both killed, in seperate incidents.

I guess it adds to the thrill...

 

[superdave]

the part where it says that he landed was a little stupid....i mean comon...how many people jump out of a plane and don't land?

 

[AeroJonesy]

I hope it doesn't discrouage people from skydiving, just from skydiving over airports, as this fellow was apparently doing.

What gets me is he was hit by his own plane. . . How the hell does that happen?


Skydiving over Airports is illegal, too much air traffic. He was parachuting near one, probably a few miles away.

wow thats bad luck.

I hope this will discourage people from skydivingn

Why? you can die doing almost any sport. Hell you could slip on the ice curling smack you head and die. Any sport has its risks except maybe bowling

Is there any way to view that video without being an AOL member?

Yeah, I want to see the video..

 

[Cloud_Walker]

The video is nothing special. It's just a like a news report - footage of the company's building, an interview with a cop. The only interesting thing I got out of it was that the man hit a plane like this.

Nothing will ever discourage me from jumping out of a plane. Getting hurt is the risk you run for participating in such a dangerous sport. That's why so many people are drawn to it. It's a thrill seekers paradise.

well he could've stuck to the plane windshield or something, but then the plane landed too, so I've no idea
