No parachute skydiving prop bet?
I remember someone mentioning high numbers for a prop bet with the stipulations of skydiving without a parachute but being able to hold on to a second skydiver who does have a chute. not tied into the person with a chute, just being able to physically hold on to them....thoughts?

I would only take the bet if I was going to kill myself anyway.

Thoughts = Complete stupidity. I don't think you'll ever see this actually happin.

I saw a video where a guy did this holding onto a parachute strap back in the day. It was probably fake or something because I don't think its possible to hold on when it comes out.

I'm sure you could hold on pretty easily if you just ran your arms through the straps.

if that was the case even using the full harness is going to leave deep bruises every time you used a parachute, and it doesn't. You're going from something around 120 mph at terminal velocity to around 15 mph after deployment, but it's not instantaneous.

In the video I saw the guy was hanging using his hands. He didn't run his arms through the straps.
Someone find it!! |
