Daredevil to Skydive Without a Parachute, or a Wingsuit
He'll be, um, "free-diving," I guess-- he'll be aiming for a net, and I know some people are now saying "Oh what a cheater, a net is perfectly capable of stopping a fall," but come on, that's still pretty wild.

not true.
the key to surviving a fall is just to slow down in stages.
The "net" will probably be a series of nets stacked over each other, each net designed to breakaway under a certain amount of force. the nets will slow the guy by 20mph per hit, until he's down to a survivable speed.
I've looked up all the people who have survived falls from airplanes without parachutes. The trick is just to hit *several* things before the ground.

he crashed through the glass roof of a train station, then hit the ground. It was the glass which slowed his fall about halfway (before shattering) that then allowed him to survive the fall with just a broken leg and some cracked ribs.

BS.
They used stunt coyotes
Posted by: Bruce at July 29, 2016 04:23 PM (8ikIW)
not if it breaks away after arresting only a certain amount of force
or perhaps its on a quick decelerator rig you know, like hollywood stuntmen use when the fall. The decelerators let them free fall for the shot, then they start slowing the fall little by little.
actually that must be the way they'r doing it -- a net, but then the ten or so guywires of the net are all on decelerator rigs.

So Hollywood stunt men jumping off of tall buildings will reach. . . ok, I don't know how fast they will be going becuase that takes math, and calculus. So I don't know how high the building has to be to reach 120 mph, but it doesn't matter because 120 mph is as fast as you can go in atmosphere. . . ok maybe you can go faster head down instead of spread eagle. . .
But the point is, you don't want to go out in hurricane force winds where the wind is 120 mph because the wind will pick you up and slam you into solid objects at 120 mph. Or propel solid objects like coconuts at you at 120 mph or more, which would hurt.
And I have this idea about a boy and his dog. Okay a girl and her horse, ok maybe a human boy and an ET, ok maybe an ET and a terrestrial dog.
ok, never mind.

Posted by: The Bends at July 29, 2016 04:24 PM (M9g61)
it's not as bad as you think. once you're above say 1000 feet, you might as well be at 20,000, because you can't fall faster than 120 mph or whatever.
But point is, the longer the fall, the more *time* you have.
So if he gets blown off course, well, he's got a significant amount of time to glide back on to course.

One of those 200-pound (91-kilogram) dummies didn't bounce out. It crashed right through.
"That was not a good thing to see," recalled Jimmy Smith, the veteran Hollywood public relations man who, with his partner Bobby Ware, sold Fox on the idea of having someone skydive without a parachute.
There's some lovely understatement.
Okay so he's aiming for a net that's 20 stories up to allow him to go to the bottom and then get not flung out.
So it's still batshit insane but at least they've done some logistics.
If it's 20 stories up, can't they have a secondary net underneath what for the crashy crashy through?

Nearby, a pair of huge cranes defines the boundaries where the net in which Aikins expects to land is being erected. It will be about one-third the size of a football field and 20 stories high, providing enough space to cushion his fall, he says, without allowing him to bounce out of it. The landing target, which has been described as similar to a fishing trawler net, has been tested repeatedly using dummies.

He'll come down in a dry, dusty, desolate-looking section of an old movie ranch north of Los Angeles where not that long ago Shia LaBeouf was battling "Transformers."
The drop zone, surrounded by rolling hills, presents some challenges, Aikins said, noting he'll be constantly fighting shifting winds as he falls 120 mph (193 kph).

Would you, average joe, perform this stunt (with proper skydiving training, etc.) but otherwise do the stunt as is described IF it meant your family would be wealthy from here on out. In other words, would you have the sack to do this so your kids never had to worry about money nor would their grandkids, and so on.

A Marine who was scheduled to make his first jump out of a plane was in the bathroom sweating and obviously nervous when two Airborne guys walked in. They looked at the Marine and said ' I thought you guys were supposed to be the toughest bravest of any of us. Why are you so afraid of jumping out of a little old plane. After you pull your parachute cord you just float down to earth'
The Marine looked up obviously relieved and said ' we get to use parachutes?'

There is or was a sky diving center at Zepherhills Florida and we went over to watch. It was interesting to see them coming back down. They want to land as close to their gear bag as they can because they don't want to walk any futher than necessary.
It was quite common to hear 'heads up', and you would look up to see someone about to land on top of you, and you would have to step aside. In one case, two guys walking suddenly saw feet at eye level, almost walking into them. There were words exchanged about watch where you are walking, and look out for falling sky divers.
Anyway, there was a story about a female, experienced sky diver, who, just days before had a chute that would not open. She screamed all the way down, and died on impact or shortly after.

I know I would give everything to have John back. Pretty sure the kids would too (they were 6,8,10, and 12 when he died). Greatest regret of my life is that I could never convince him that the money wouldn't make up for losing him even if it meant he was disabled and we had to figure out how to make everything work. It would have been much harder, but not worse.

Starship Troopers (I think). They do a combat drop from deep space. Each trooper in a re-entry shell.
In real life Peggy Whitsom, returning from six months in command of the internation space station said, "I saw ten g," on re-entry. Seems that the angle at which the capsule returns is critical. Two shallow you might not return at all, or be thousands of miles off target. Too steep and the decelleration is too high, or you burn up.
Ten g was not the intended track.

Hey, I'm justaboutthisclose to suggesting that five years of identity fraud plaguing top-drawer Dem donors is reasonable payback for the runaway IRS targeting.

Clinton's offenses against the Bushes are infinitely longer than Trump's. Perino gets no quarter for even hinting at implying a vote for Hilarity!
She was of The Borg as the Bush family is all about big government. Clinton is Big Government. She has more affinity because she's from Big Government. Trump much less so. Could be personal animus, but she's not very astute if she thinks Trump has been more hostile than the Clintons to her former boss.

I do most of the time. Sometimes I'm lazy, but when you get fresh shrimp, like in SC, and don't, you eat sand...
it's gross on the teeth
I want to enjoy the flavor.

Has a disparate impact on minorities... they say.
In NC, they found ONE 92 year-old lady who had changed her name two or three times without actually changing it officially. That was the basis for the DoJ/NAACP suit:
“Mrs. Eaton, who was born at home, has a current North Carolina driver’s license, but the name on her certified birth certificate does not match the name on her driver’s license or the name on her voter registration card,” the lawsuit notes. “Mrs. Eaton will incur substantial time and expense to correct her identification documents to match her voter registration record in order to meet the new requirements.”

Apollo did a little tricky maneuver. They came in, slowed down, then pulled up and did a "ballistic coast" outside of atmosphere, losing much of the velocity, then arced back down for a final entry at a much steeper angle.
This maneuver was critical for success.

A federal appeals court has overturned North Carolina’s sweeping voter ID law, ruling that the law was passed with “discriminatory intent” and was designed to impose barriers to block African-Americans from voting.

I don't think it's possible to buy shrimp that haven't already been deveined. Unless you're buying them from some guy selling them for a dollar a pound out of a cooler.
The vein is nasty stuff. Like eating brown sand.

The freejumper's publicity is being sponsored by Shop-Vac. They're
figuring his landing will give the company a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to show the effectiveness of their products, which will be
used to gather enough of him for the burial.

I found it odd last night when they had the muslim father on who lost his son in iraq that he did all the speaking and the mother stood silent behind him.Usually its the mothers that speak out.I wonder why she wasn't allowed to speak?

Dude's capsule was for shite. Chutes failed on re-entry, after no end of problems in-orbit.
He screamed and cursed all the way down.
He hit the ground like a meteorite. Not much left of the poor man.

What's really remarkable is that the Russkis displayed his charred torso---all that was left--- after the event.

No, this is not a joke but demonstrates how desperate the Soviets were during the Nazi invasion.
However, any guy who jumps out of an airplane without a parachute, survives the fall, and then goes on the attack is nobody you want to mess with.

And there was a guy who jumped into a huge pile of empty cardboard boxes wearing only a wing-suit. I had no idea until now what a pussy he really was.
/s
Then there's the story of a B-17 tail gunner whose chute was either blown out of the plane or otherwise useless, and as the flames from the main part of the plane swept back toward him, decided he didn't want to be burned alive, and jumped - landing in a deep mountain snowbank and walking away.
Or the WW I pilot who jumped sans chute and landed on a barrage balloon. Just laid there relaxing until they pulled the balloon down and the ground crew got a real surprise.
