Never seen this before, head first skydiving! eek

Its amazing that anyone is brave enough to do this but as I watched it it gave me a really creepy feeling. I don't why but the way they move just seems really odd and then you realise that they are upside down.

They have to revert to normal freefall as they get close to the ground because if they didn't they're chutes would get ripped off.

Brave bods.

IIRC, the Halo jump works well with this, and perople can feel their feet knocking against the tube of air their body produces.

Damn cool.

Don't mean to split hairs, but their feet are feeling the higher pressure air that is rushing into the lower pressure "tube" that they are leaving in their wake. Their body isn't producing any air (unless you are referring to last night's curry). smile
