A skydiver, James Boole, fell 6,000 feet and was late to open his parachute. Boole was filming another skydiver, and was waiting for his cue to open his chute, but there was a mix up, and Boole was late. After free falling at 100 mph, Boole only released his chute seconds before hitting the snow covered rocky mountain. Boole suffered a broken back, ribs, bruised lung and chipped teeth, but survived.

    Oh what the hell..Id give it a shot once..Sometimes U just gotta live life..And if by chance the parachute fails..Well, its one of the ways, Id 'like 2 go out with a bang'..One is going over Niagara Falls in 'The Whirlpool Jetboat'..that thing is sweet !.. Another is sexed to death by a gang of smokin hot women..And the last..would B the failed parachute..ala becoming a 'Denver Omlette'..What a way 2
    go, huh?! ..Who the heck wants 2 die of lung cancer or a stroke..Boring, painful, & sometimes drawn out for a long time..Go with exciting, quick & painless..

    I'm not a thrill-seeker or anything, but for some reason I want to jump out of an airplane with parachute. I mean, I have vertigo: when at high heights, I'm drawn to the edge, I look down and get this tunnel vision where the ground seems to move twice as far away, then suddenly comes rushing up towards me, and then I start to lean over . . . yet I want to jump out of a plane. I also want to learn to fly. But things like snow boarding and roller coasters are no go and nutty. Go figure!

    I'm afraid of heights and wouldnt dream of doing it. My husband is airborne--crazy!! He can do all the jumping while I stand on the solid earth and watch=)

  • [-] viper4358 skisicks May 19, 2009 11:18:22

    Okay. Now it sound like Boole is A veteran skydiver,only veteran's that has more than twenty solo jumps would be consider filming while skydiving, and if he is, he should know that 5000' feet is the safety altitude to open a chute at that speed.Also veteran will always check his/hers altitude gauge. SAFTY FIRST.

    this is very bad but skydiving seems like it would be fun just as long as that parachute opens up

    Why would any sane person want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?
