As if creating large scale aerial formation whilst falling at 120mph towards earth was not enough to contend with, landing also holds its own set of dangers and challenges.
As BJ quite rightly pointed out, even though you may be travelling faster in free fall there is very little up there you can bump into, bar another skydiver, and they are not a fixed object. "
The most dangerous part of skydiving is the landing. You can be travelling up to 70mph when you come into land. If you judge the landing wrong you can suffer serious injuries. Wind socks can really hurt if you hit them at speed and crashing into guys on the ground is not much fun either."
BJ and OB talk us through another danger you face when landing in the desert.
I only did 50 skydives and have 4 wind tunnel 'jumps' to my name and truly appreciate how difficult it is to do what you guys have done. You give me goosebumps every time I watch you. I'm now in a wheelchair (not due to injury) but still feel the thrill of jumping through you. WELL DONE EVERYONE. You are brilliant.
Blue Skies,
Supercripp.
