Sula,
I already admitted that I'm a noob in this activity and was simply trying to answer a question. Yes I misspelled. I'm only a P2 but training.
Sheesh.

Sula, I already splained that stuff. A ‘rotor’ has a specific definition in the real flying world.
FAA advisory circular AC 00-57 spells it out for you. There’s no way any wing suiter or parasailor will survive a rotor encounter. A modern hang glider might, but unlikely, especially if a B737 can’t.

Some context to Bargainbasements comment.. funny how your comment has no context dipsh#t.
That silly video of outtakes was actually the B-side to a rad as hell DVD.
Being entertaining on camera has it's price I guess. .
Hank, not sure why you are insulting me (and Jim Brennan was as well???)? Gunkie was referring to you swinging back into the building, and it was referenced by you in that spot of your outtake video. Some people may not know that Gunkie was referring to your swinging back in the building, breaking through a hotel window! That’s what I was clarifying to those who might not know the context of Gunkie’s quote. Clearly the outtake video was taken from the original Sender Film. No sure why you are so cross, unless you don’t like your outtake video. I think it’s awesome, and paints you as a legend; I think most people on the forum would agree. But if you don’t like it, I’ll remove the link. Must be a internet forum miscommunication thing. Again, not sure why you got offended, and felt the need to be insulting.

Jim Brennan wrote:I'll speak for myself.
There has been a glacial creep of opinion on this forum that ends in people who formerly loved having adventures, wringing their hands and saying things like base jumping is bad, solo rock and mountain climbing is bad, don't take risks, have you the right credentials to do what you do from having passed a course in safely jumping off of a cliff...?
Bargainhunter, it's good to be wild.
And how does that apply to anything I posted here? I put a link in of Hank saying the quote that Gunkie admired so. Nothing more. Did that video somehow invisibly flag the safety police? I think it's pretty weird of you to insinuate I was somehow passing some sort of judgement. I merely posted a video clarifying where the quote in Gunkie's post came from.
I really liked that video compilation of Hank's, and I only discovered it when I was reading about Southern Belle. If I hadn't seen it, I'd have no idea what Gunkie was referring to. That's why I posted it for context.

Maybe so but did you at least watch a little longer? It actually won at the Banff Film festival. Its the spirit.
My point of posting is that I'm a middle aged child working my way back to a seven year old. And that I agree with Jim. I just see folks telling others that your gonna die doing this and that but they don't understand the sport/ activity.
I agree with him. And I agree with him that there is a feeling that folks judge too quickly. I won't fly unless everything is perfect. I sometimes sit for hours and walk away. But to judge me or others on that it is crazy, you may not understand. I don't judge someones belief in themself that they can run a class V. If they put in the work then I assume they can do it and I will be right in front to set safety cause I have.
Its not much different then saying I'm gonna do a Grade VI first ascent in the Black. If you have done the work then you have. Go have fun if it makes your freak flag fly.

I didn't say anything about Jim Brennan at all, not sure where you came away with anything like that. Don't remove the link, but yes, I hate that video. The dude's at Sender Films never said that there would be an additional DVD with that on it. I'm all sobered up now so it is positively cringe worthy to me.
However, you didn't actually provide any context when you posted it. When people just see just that blooper reel on its own I just look like a maniac, and not the good kind. I always feel the need to remind folks that that was apart of a popular film that I was a proper shredding machine in. I got on the cover of Rock and Ice the same month The Sharp End premiered.
Sorry I called you a dipsh#t. Not much of an insult to get so worked up about, but I am sorry. I'm glad folks like the video..
edit- our most recent jump in Moab. The wife LOOOVES it when her Pugs get to race out to the LZ after we land.

How's this for an insult:
You got outrun by a couple of pugs!
But the pre-launch kiss ritual always kills me.
Keep up the good work.

Unless you've died BASE jumping then you're kinda ignorant. Solid logic by the BASE idiots.

HAHAHAHA! I sent that to my 72 year old Dad and he said the exact same damn thing! But if you run to fast the video bounces and looks like sh#t, and we can't have that now can we?

Yeah, love the berserk pugs. That would be a great band name, btw.
The Berserk Pugs will be opening for Def Leopard this weekend at the Hollywood Bowl!

"Look at me" right Honcho?
Why else post on a thread dedicated to laughing at your stupidity. Honcho, Fail videos are massively appealing. It's a culture of Jackasses and their leg humping bros. Go do what you love.
Dead friends are the best friends. If you're a dipsh#t.

Yeah, I think BASE jumping is suicidal and all, but who am I to judge? I've been a caver, a rock climber, a half-ass mountaineer, etc. Can I call someone suicidal when I've been on a run out lead with nothing for pro but a tied sling through a rock tunnel that wouldn't even hold body weight? I don't think so.

BTW, if you want to see the power of a rotor google the British Airways flight that tried to land at Gibraltar the other day. It looked to me that a strong SE wind was blowing over The Rock. The airport is on the lee side and the A321 on approach was rolling almost 45 degrees each way! Clear evidence of a rotor.

Yep...it's all relative...
We're all soloing everyday whether we accept it or not.

Reilly, current thinking is that was an oscillation tied to the flap position of the A319/320/321 family and asymmetirc loading due to gusting. There was a software fix a while ago for asymmetric flap loading at full flaps leading to oscillation driven by the FBW computers. When the flaps were retracted the swings went away, as you can see from passenger footage of the event. It initially looks like PIO, but probably wasn't. Actually pretty scary from the passenger point of view.
