Friday Freakout: Sttttrike! Swooper Hits Spectator.

Sttttrike! A swooper takes out a “spectator” (for lack of a better term) at a respectable speed. Why wasn’t she watching?? No one can see how awesome you are if they’re not watching.

Friday Freakout: Swooper Bounces, Goes Boom.

The thing with gravity is that she just can’t wait to introduce you to her friend — the ground. You know how hard it is to be introduced to new people, too fast. It’s hard. Very hard.

Friday Freakout: Failed Swoop, Skydiver Pounds Into Pond

Remember the SoFPiDaRF rules, people: safety third! At first I thought this is what a pond swoop was supposed to look like. Turns out I was wrong. If only he was half a second earlier, it would’ve been an epic swoop! Ok, more like 4 seconds. D’you see what happens when you use toggles? :p

Friday Freakout: Triple Fail Trifecta – 3 Speedflying Crashes

After watching this, I’m having second thoughts about trying speedflying, or flying a pink parachute. OUCH! Triple ouch. First he crashes into a tree, followed by a failed barrel roll, and then he comes up short while trying to clear a gap and crashes into a cliff. Pretty scenery, not so pretty landings… even with snow and skis to soften the hits. Ça va?!

Friday Freakout: Skydiver Hits Head HARD On Plane!

The skyvan was flying at the Invasion 2012, and this is a good example of how NOT to exit said aircraft. We call it “jumping” for a reason… because we’re jumping out of planes, not casually stepping out of them. Despite how bad this looks/sounds, luckily he was wearing a helmet and he landed safely without injury. #INVASIONweek wouldn’t be complete without a little carnage.

Friday Freakout: Skydiver Nearly Breaks Neck

Ever get slammed by your canopy? WHABAM! If it hasn’t happened to you at least once (yet), you’re doing it wrong. Wait, no. Disregard. This hard opening left Steve Rivello dazed and confused with multiple herniated discs in his neck. I’m not a doctor, but something tells me that’ll really mess up your day. Canopy: 1, Neck: 0.
