Play stupid games…
It’s natural selection at its best.
“Sport”
We had a base jumper die at my local airsoft site, God knows how they pull their parachute in time with their big balls pulling them to the ground so quickly
Really? You learned today that jumping from 300′ and hoping your single parachute slows your fall enough that you don’t splat is dangerous?
Yea but what a way to go, doing what you love!
