Title: Stupidity 101; how to break some ribs.

Right click (http://www.flyinggnu.dk/?page=5&mode=sendvideo&id=132), save as (2.5Mb download).

Luckily most of you don't understand Danish. The comments are pretty "good natured".

Did this in my old rig/canopy (the one with the 'funky' colours ;)) .  If I did it in my current one, which is a good bit smaller and of a much newer design, I'd still be in the hospital or 6 foot under.

As a sidenote, it's pretty interesting to watch the shape of the canopy as I realize I'm overshooting badly. The canopy is basically just like a wing: it's quite close to complete stall/collapse as I'm desperately trying to bleed off speed without doing a 'take off'.

:D

Skydiving is Darwin's way of weeding out those who don't have a proper fear of gravity.
