RE: Rollover 'McConkey' BASE jump
That looks cool, exciting and adventurous! I wish I can try it too. 😃 I jus don't get the "rolling over" part. Or I just didn't notice that much on the video? I thought you just jump and the chute will take care of the rest, no?
Your post was featured in @dipoabasch's article which is an entry to the Pay It Forward Curation Contest. You too can join the contest if you want because it is open for everyone.
I am rolling over the parachute which is underneath me. Usually on a BASE jump the parachute would be packed into the container on your back and then you deploy it after you jump
That's what I thought but yours was already spread out before you jumped. Isn't that a little dangerous if you get caught and wrapped up in the chute?
Yes, you have to be careful, you have to roll over instead of step off
I'll keep that in mind if I have the chance to jump. 😊
