Never rely on your reserve parachute......

Pretty cool. It says in the description that 'Some guy jumps out of a plane and then attempts to shoot a flare but hits his parachute causing it to light on fire.'

It was a stunt, he cuts away the slider first (little square piece of nylon above his head) then delibarately fires the flare straight at the canopy. Nylon + Fire...Burn.

Right, that's the opening sequence for the next Bond film sorted!

What's he up to next....?

Eject from a helicopter....?

No problem unless the charge that blows the rotors off doesn't work...

[mybrainhurts]

Thought you relied on feathers...?

[mybrainhurts]

Relying on feathers...?

No! Ejecting from a helicopter. The feathers is a given.

You can, but you have to blow the rotors off first. Or maybe they can use interrupter gear so you go between the blades?
