| Or someone wanted to make people laugh at his misfortune. 09/17/2003-12:29pm | ||
| besides, judging by his two attepted lawsuits that failed, and then him selling a sensationalized version of the story that was completely full of shit to a TV show complete with a pretty video of the whole thing, makes me believe this guy was trying the ol' "throw himself in front of the limo" routine. 09/17/2003-9:45am | ||
| yup, FAA regulations specify you must have a steerable reserve inspected and packed by an FAA certified rigger within 120 days of the jump. While "steerable" could mean one of the later generation round canopies, in which case you would have some but minimal control over where you were going, this guy had a 7-cell square reserve (similar to the reserve I have) which offer similar flight characteristics to your main. (or if you jump a 7-cell main made of F-111 fabric, probably damn near the same flight characteristics) 09/17/2003-9:28am | ||

| I know you can control landings more than a bit, but I wasn't sure if it worked the same with the backup chute. But come on, god wanted him dead. :) 09/16/2003-7:08pm | ||
| PS- I had Lewis in TWO leagues (both Cleveland based, so he wasn't hard to get, so I won't call genius yet, I just jewed them to get him....) 09/16/2003-4:42pm | ||
| Lewis and Baltimore's Defense made up 80% of my points Who's the moron who didn't start him against a run defense that's about as effective as the Bears. Question, do the Bears and Bengals play this year, you know, as to solve the debate over the NFL's worst team... 09/16/2003-4:41pm | ||
| and you can control where you land more than a little bit, accuracy landing compititions usually take place with a spike on your shoe and are measured down to the millimeter to decide a winner. This guy just drifted through the air like a fart in the wind til he hit the powerlines. 09/16/2003-4:38pm | ||
| god didn't fuck up his main, that's the worst part. I love how it dubs his voice over the video saying "I deployed the chute" just as the video shows him pulling his cutaway handle while the jumpmaster fights to keep him from fucking up the works. 09/16/2003-4:36pm | ||
| Correct me if I am wrong, but can't you control where you land a little bit? You know, now that I think about it.........This is a case of natural selection. Or at least God's hate for this man. First he fucks up the chute. Then he tries to finish him off with power lines when he managed to pull the backup. God damn minimal safety. 09/16/2003-4:06pm | ||
| fuckwit.rm [chaz720.net] a few notes on this video before the whacky commentary gets the better of you. 1) that red pillow you see the guy fight the instructor to get to is his cutaway handle which he pulls for some ungodly reason 2) you can see the instructor pull his actual ripcord seconds later which probably saved the guy's life by preventing a really bad entanglement 3) the instructor dives down after this dumb ass risking his own life to make sure he got his reserve out okay 4) when it sayd he's 1000' off the ground he's actually closer to 5000' (big difference!) 5) "unlucky enough to hit powerlines..." am I the only one who sees the square mile of friggin field between the camera and the powerlines in the shot at the end? 6) this guy sued the jumpmaster who tried to chase him down, and when he lost, sued the power company for putting lines there. See, this is why we can't have nice things, it's because of shit like this. 09/16/2003-1:29pm | ||
| I had him, and I did. Good stuff. Also with Carolina's Defense. What a great combo. 09/16/2003-10:36am | ||
| i had jamal lewis in fantasy this week and i didn't start him. that sucks. 09/16/2003-9:53am | ||
