HALO (but not really)



David has been jumping out of planes too much. He now owns his own parachute and gear, and is on his 37th jump. In this set of photo's, Dave is jumping at a low altitude of 4000 feet to get his "A" License. A bit freaked by the low jump, he pulled his chute while his body was in a strange position and almost got the thing wrapped and caught around his legs, as you can see in photo number 2. Luckily for my brother, he corrected himself in time and successfully obtained his license. AND THEN GOT BACK ON THE PLANE AND JUMPED SOME MORE.

This is not a "HALO" which stands for High Altitude, Low Opening. That means the plane is very high, lots of free fall, and a very fast and low opening.
