We've all had them, but have you had "Suspended, inverted, from your buddy's canopy at 150 feet" bad?

I blame the latest SCOTUS ruling.

Just wow. Any idea how that ended?

During your descent keep a look out for fellow jumpers and always follow the three rules of the air. Repeat them after me: Always look before you turn, always turn in the opposite direction to avoid collisions, and the lower jumper always has the right of way.

Hope no one was hurt.

Repeating now, Viper Sir.

(No, I'll never need them. But when you say to repeat something, even I know well enough to do it. )

According to the photographer (and I believe that was shot on Sicily at Bragg) they cleared about 20-ish feet before landing. Even if it were slightly higher I'd need a change of underwear.

That's about 1 second to prepare to land... I doubt the result was a textbook PLF, if a PLF at all.

At that point anything other than "broken neck" or "fractured skull" is a victory. "Luckiest tib-fib fracture of my life!"
