]]> Talk about GROUND RUSH! I can’t believe someone can hit the ground this hard and survive. My friend Liam Dunne of Deepseed is one lucky man. There are several factors that lead to this outcome, but the end result was a CYPRES save, intense ground rush, an 8 inch footprint in the ground, and surgery with 2 titanium rods and 4 screws holding his spine together. After almost a year of rehab, Liam will miraculously be jumping later this year. To read all the details about this incident, check out the Deepseed “Know Your Shit” blog post.

He’s lucky this didn’t happen 50-100 feet higher.

The last alti check seems to be at 0:37 by the student and at, umm, never by the instructor before the student pulls his main and his AAD fires. Anyone who disagrees, I’d like to hear your opinion… but this is f*#%ed up!
