All it takes is someone to pack your parachute wrong or a failure like in the above and you’ve got a horrendous couple of minutes knowing you’re plummeting to your death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Shouting down "are you alright" after he has hit the rocks several times on the way down landed on the rocks below and his parachute opens after he has stopped plummeting maybe just isn't the done thing or quite possibly the daftest someone has said 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media was awash with people writing “I hope no one was seriously injured” and “Hope everyone is ok”. At the time I was reading it, it was established that it had crashed and burst into flames and clear that nobody was surviving that, so why the f**k would you write that??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of burning to death strapped to a seat...... not a nice way to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
