    What made me really wonder about this skydive is why are they doing it? I mean I guess the thrill is huge but there must be some other scientific reason.

    If he's looking for thrills tell him he should try getting tickets via the 10c!

    If this does happen, I sure as hell hope they put a remote on his parachute to open when his lifeless body plummets to earth.

    This is almost as daring as when I jumped off the high-board at the community pool when I was 10.

    That's crazy...the place that she jumped is being investigated because:
    " At least eight people have died at the Parachute Center in the last 10 years" :roll:

    I can't believe that the guy she jumped with didn't realize she wasn't properly in her harness before the jump..I jumped tandem and I felt very securely "locked" to my jumping partner.
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    I agree, just before she jumped her harness looked loose.....you should feel pinned in those harnesses. They should be investigate with that many fatalities.
