A while ago my neighbour asked whether I wouldn't like to do a parachute jump. I immediately said no !

Riding stand up-tilting free fall towers, I like it. Riding fly coasters, I like it. Next year I'll be riding TTD & KK : I'll put my hands in the air and I will like it. But parachute jumping ... no, that's too risky imo.

 

Nevertheless, my neighbour found 3 friends ready to jump and I proposed to cam them. From the footage I freezed some pics and thought some of you might be interested.

Last one also made a nearly perfect landing.

That's it. I still would not do it. Think it's really too risky.

I decided to continue filming as other people were already running to him. After all, there was still another person in the air.

I didn't really know what to do : keep on filming or run to help.
