Hi cuznjohn,

Re: why would someone do this

My mother wonders why in the world I ride a motorcycle. She also thinks people who climb mountains are nuts, that's me on top of Mt. Hood here in Oregon:

The answer is: Because we can.

For those who do not know, that parachute was configured for a very fast opening; it did not have a slider on it.

A slider controls & slows down the deployment, photo of one here, just above this guy's head -> Slider.jpg

I'll pass.

Bob, how much would his insurance cost for this stunt.

They are out there. Not me.

[SpyderCruiser]

I think I would have passed out from the G force on acceleration.

His "stones" wouldn't fit in a five gallon bucket and his brain rattles around like a BB in a boxcar..


I've gone rappelling, sky diving, worked at heights, worked under a nuclear reactor head and ride a motorcycle. Guess I shouldn't point fingers!

It looks like a really cool stunt... with a couple of hundred really neat potential ways to end up winning a Darwin Award.
