A British soldier has cheated death after crashing into someone's roof and falling into their kitchen when his parachute failed to fully deploy during a training exercise in California.

Apparently the British aren't satisfied with a technique many special forces around the world use, HALO -High Altitude Low Opening, they've moved on to HANO -High Altitude No Opening. Not sure if even Farmers has seen this.

I think that Justin(e) True-dope should be a trend setter and show everyone how to do HANO.

[Tell It Right]

I LOL’d at “Not sure if even Farmers has seen this” !

Luke Aiken's 25,000 free fall--no parachute

[Mathews]

Ha. Leave it to a Brit to pull a HA-NO!!! Dayum!

[Dalberg-Acton]

That pussy used a net!

[Karliner]

Expending such energy as opening a chute is for pussies who don’t know how to drop and roll properly.

Yours is not the title of the article - rules. Threads get pulled that way...

“Allo .. jus’ dropped by for a spot o’ Tea. Darjeeling, if you’ve any, and a splash of milk,would be splendid.”

Thankfully the roof broke his fall.

That which doesn’t kill might make you stronger - or it can screw you up for a really long time.

"Field Marshal William Slim (1891-1970), who between the wars was himself a Gurkha officer...loved telling stories about their bravery. In his version, the Gurkhas are told they’re to jump out at 300 feet, and the Havildar (sergeant) asks if they can jump closer to the ground, but it’s explained to him that any lower than 300ft won’t give their parachutes time to open. “Oh,” replies the Havildar, “so we get parachutes, eh?”

Meh, no lie...in the old Corps we used to helocast from a C-130 ramp. 80 feet at 80 knots.

[DPMD]

Hello. Was in the neighborhood and thought I’d drop in for lunch.

James Bond did this almost.

I’m guessing he wasn’t wearing red socks. OUCH. I hope he recovers okay.

[Afterguard]

That’s nothin’. In the rotary wing Navy we did our water rescue jumps from 10 feet @ 10 kts. Called it going out to practice our 10/10s. of course we were wearing full survival gear... 😉

[21twelve]

I guess I should have read the article: “The parachutist was conscious but stunned with complaints of pain but no visible serious injuries.”

Maybe those ARE red socks??? Although some cuts on your legs can still bleed a bit and not be considered serious I suppose. Still - ouch!

Perhaps he was dropping in for tea?
