by all accounts this di*k was laughing about it afterwards with no concern for the pilot he crashed into

Its surprising the skydiver survived at terminal velocity going into a set of paraglider lines would be like going through a cheese grater.
Over the years I was skydiving there were a number of fatalities when other people deployed in the way of someone still in freefall and they got sliced :o
They should have got radio clearance before jumping.
Colin you need to watch out in all directions when you go there :idea:
Feel the fear and do it anyway!

I think he didint get sliced because he went through the top of the glider

I can second that Chris. When we were there people were falling out of the sky from every angle loads of different companies doing SIV courses. One day I was told to hold position on the radio as someone had deployed about 100 meters above and to my left I can still see in my mind the guy dropping like a stone going passed me screaming like a pig, his reserve did come out eventually but it left me quite shaken and that was before I started my maneuvers. :shock:

I feel sick (puke)

Always thought I wanted to do SIV at Olu, but I think I'll choose a less crowded place.
