Jump off the space elevator for 10k, that’d be pretty cool once possible OR 25 grand plus 10-15k (assuming) to get to the top of Mt. Everest, then jump. ---

This is what happens when things go wrong… I wish I had pictures of the deployment to see wtf was up with it, but I basically had an off heading opening which spun up my lines and prevented me from steering the parachute. I fairly low and was headed directly toward the trees/railroad tracks (this is why they stop jumping during trains). I had to do something so I pushed the risers together in order to bring the twist as low as possible, then used all my strength to lift myself up to grab control lines above the twist so I could peel it away from the tracks and trees and into the water… ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13418.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13418.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13422.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13422.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13423.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13423.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13396.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13396.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13399.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13399.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13402.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13402.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13403.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13403.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13404.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13404.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13405.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13405.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13406.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13406.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13407.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13407.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13408.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13408.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13409.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13409.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13410.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13410.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13411.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13411.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13412.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/bridgeday/BD12-13412.jpg) ---
