In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Wow... The 29th floor, let's assume 3M per floor, a few more meters for the spacier ground floor and we're looking at 100-120 meter high. I would call it suicidal in an urban environment from a building.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 10:01 am at least NOt another suicide:

I once met an Ozzy former paratrooper and he told me during training they had to jump from a really low flying plane, around 300 ft of the ground if I recall well, after a long training, and some would literally shit themselves because it was (considered) an extremely dangerous jump.
Doing the same from a condo (balcony?) seems suicidal to me.
Re: BRITISH MAN FAILS WITH PARACHUTE FROM 29TH-FLOOR PATTAYA CONDO
At least with a plane at 300ft / ~150kts, you have a huge gust of wind to open your chute. Jumping off will require you to gather pace before it will deploy and then......SPLAT!!!!Kammekor wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 10:16 amWow...

Well if he was intending to BASE jump off a building at that height for an adrenaline rush it was obviously short lived.

Force Recon Marines used to do similar jumps. Packed into the ass end of an OV-10 Bronco ... the plane comes into the beach at low level then at drop site, it takes a steep near vertical turn and the gravity poops out the Marines ... this was in the 1980s, early 1990s ... I don't think they do anything like it anymore cause they retired to Bronco. Pretty nuts though.Kammekor wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 10:16 amWow...

My brother (RM) did some winter training (Finland) with some Force Recon and USMC. He said you could hear them from miles away and they did not take the training seriously.
After his group had beaten them up they refused to train with them. To this day the RM never train with grunts from the USA. True fact. (SF yes)
Hoo raaa!

Reservist still do the same training and duration. But you would know that if you knew what the colour of the boathouse is.
