sheet idiocy, the people were cheering well before survival was confirmed.

Squirrel suiter has also done a no suit water landing. Corliss thought the rocky outcropping landing was a bit bumpy.

Mr. 25K isn't going to wear a wing suit either.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Wow. Looks like he almost missed it. That was a big net. Wonder if that would of hurt, or would he not really felt it.

Remembered about it just as it went off the air Saturday night.  Since everyone was all smiles I figured he made it.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Not a skydiver but I would think that with no wingsuit your ability to track and adjust course would be limited. Like being 5000 feet out and realizing you missed. Like being a quarter mile away from the power lines in a descending hot air balloon.

A skydiver can steer and track pretty well, even without a wing suit.  I don't remember the "glide" ratio, but there was some ability.  In this case, I think he dropped from directly above the net, correcting for any wind, and got on target early and kept himself there.

Two minutes doesn't seem like a lot of time for course corrections, should he have been blown off course early, though.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Which is why he dropped over the LZ, not a few miles away.  And I bet they factored in the winds aloft for drift.
