Talking of canopy collisions... (Was: Falling into a canopy)

[Craig Poxon]

I've now managed to capture Yuri's (I only realised it was his after
checking the pictures on his website) very scary freefall collision
with a deploying canopy, which was referred to an an earlier thread.
Since I've had no response to the post and an email to Will Forshay,
I'm going to go ahead and post it until I hear otherwise.

Here are a couple of pictures from Yuri's website:

You can download the video from:

http://www.poxon.org/Craig/Skydive/BASE/Collision.avi

This is 5.42MB in size and since it is encoded using the i263 CODEC,
if you don't have it you will need to download it from
http://support.intel.com/support/createshare/camerapack/codinstl.htm
(another 1.77MB).

Alternatively, you can download the smaller Real version from:

http://www.poxon.org/Craig/Skydive/BASE/Collision.rm

This one is only 600KB but you will need to download the Real G2
player from
http://www.real.com/products/player/downloadrealplayer.html?wp=dl0599&src=downloadr,990607choice_2&lang=en
(3.1MB minimal download).

If you liked this clip, then I very strongly recommend you contact
Will Forshay and buy some of his excellent value, highly entertaining
and educational videos! You can find out more information at:

C'Ya!
