How to tell if God loves you

You don't die after face planting into a parking lot when your parachute decides not to open.

"Shayna Richardson was making her first solo skydiving jump when she had trouble with her parachutes and, while falling at about 50 mph, hit face first in a parking lot."

If only there was a video

Richardson said her due date is June 25. She plans to make her next parachute jump in August.

You'd think the first time would teach a lesson, yet the dumb bitch plans on doing it again.

Mkopec1 · 12-13-2005, 02:26 PM

I guess the first one didnt knock any sense into her.

50mph slamming into concrete with the head and she lived? That must be like a guiness record or some shit.

She may have lived, but it left her retarded

what the fuck :|
even the fetus survived

edit: Her fall was videotaped and Richardson said she was able to watch it, without qualms.

RELEASE THE VIDEO!

How does 50mph compare to an actual freefall? Did the spare parachute "somewhat" open and slowed her descent? Or is 50mph about right?

ValkyrieIsAboutToDie · 12-13-2005, 02:52 PM

50MPH sounds like her parachute opened but was twisted/faulty lines. When you freefall, you're going way, way, way faster than 50MPH.

Terminal velocity of a skydiver not balled up is around 124 mph.

I'm gonna see if I can find some info on a Russian dude that fell from a plane, not sure if he had a schute or not, and basically came out unscathed other than a shitload of cuts from falling through a forrest (that broke his fall).

kid I know who likes to climb trees fell 40 ft out of a tree and broke his back in like 5 spots

What you saw in Stealth cannot happen, a forest does not break one's fall...

Eomer · 12-13-2005, 03:12 PM

Never seen Stealth. I don't remember the circumstances, but I'm pretty sure it was a Russian soldier that fell from like 10,000 feet. I'll see what I can find.

Yeah i though the guinness world record was a fall from like 20,000 feet.

It doesn't matter how far up you fall from if its above the height needed to attain terminal velocity. The only dangerous that high is freezing/asphyxiating
