Siggi 10 Posted May 22, 2009 What are they talking about, "without opening his parachute"? He very clearly did open his parachute and it fully deployed, just not in time to bring his speed down by the normal amount. If it hadn't opened he'd be dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put's me in mind of that Rear Gunner in the Lanc who fell thousands of feet and survived..they were going to shoot him as a spy. And the Air Hostess who fell out of an aircraft that broke up in Mid Air...... all three have one thing in Common. They all landed in snow Edited May 22, 2009 by UK_Widowmaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
