He'is going to get a ton of bricks on top of him, that doesn't look right in any way.
And if he removed the videocards : Isn't that tampering with a crash investigation???

Who the hell goes flying with an Skydiving rig, I've jumped, those are great in the air, but they are rubbish to sit in a seat with.

this is the actual one I jumped out of :



Harnass broke on first attemp to Tandem jump, just when they tightned me up to the jummaster, just before my jump.. (I was like huh??!!?)

rode the bird down for a landing, which was interesting as well, since they just point it close to straight down to pickup new jumpers.. was like them parabolic flights, i was weightless.

second jump with new rig ok
then solo.. did theory and practice on the ground, then got grounded for 5 weeks due to weather

Finally we could go up, you know how it works?
I jokingly say
"yea, pull right, count to 5 parachute if nothing, pull Cutaway and Reserve, count to 5 parachute again. If nothing at that point burrow a hole in the ground and wait for the ambulance"
EXACTLY, you DID pay attention to the course

and we went up

2 failures, first
count to 3 parachute.. NOTHING
course memory kicks in.. they drilled it in.. nothing is often a sticky pilot chute
SO I rotated, it opened.. and I had a high speed twist
woosh, jumpmasters are gone at that point

Debated pulling reserve, but managed to untwist it
That was FUU U U U UN


In any case.. skydive rig in the pilot seat is BS. He knew damn well he was going to ditch the plane before he even took off.
