Sorry everyone for bumping such an old troll thread, but the utter stupidity of the op just pissed me off. As stated ANY skydiver will know this is totally fake. Then again it isn't too bad of a read so hopefully nobody gets too pissed I bumped this. First off the altitude thing. 15000ft is about the highest anybody recreationally skydives (which I have done). 35000ft is something a record breaker would be going for, with a full oxygen mask. But someone already pointed that out. Then he uses stupid terminology like "I reached UP for the CORD". Yeah theres no fuckin "cord" like everyone thinks and you sure wouldn't reach up for it. At best you would be going for your cutaway or reserve chute that way. But still those are handles on your chest straps. Your main chute is deployed by throwing the pilot chute out which is packed into the lower right part of the pack meaning you reach behind your back. ![]() Then he mentions he is at 1000ft right after pulling. Experienced jumpers are more in the 2-3000ft range at that point, less experienced more. You would already be starting your landing pattern at 1000ft. He made no reference to checking his altimeter, dropzone (theres no way he would have found it), wind, maneuvering his chute with the brake lines etc. God I cant believe people actually believed this.
