Alright, so apparently this is the most vertical adventure at the sunniest DZ in Germany. But once you get past the iMovie intro, it’s a solid edit from, well, the sunniest DZ in Germany. Of course.

There’s so much OMGWTF in this video, I don’t even know where to start, so let’s take it from the top. Stable exit and flying? Nope. Tracking at break-off? Nope. Canopy collision? Of course. Cutaway?

Friday Freakout: "The Screamer" Tandem
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a “screamer.” This girl has more than just second thoughts before her first tandem; she sounds like a victim being tortured in a horror movie.

Friday Freakout: Parachute Explodes In Half. Aww, ...
Aww, shitty. Don’t you just hate when your parachute explodes in half! I’m not entirely sure why he chopped though. I mean, it’s there, it’s square (sort of), and can probably flare. Wouldn’t you try to land this? (that’s a rhetorical question) Watch Video »
