right now, but i think everyone, stephanie, is in assessment mode trying to figure out exactly how this bill works. they re not done yet, so out of fairness you ve got to give the senate a chance to work. as we moments ago former president trump put out another statement pushing against this bipartisan hard infrastructure bill. do you think he has influence over fellow members of congress? you know, there s no question there are strong supporters of the president in the house and the senate. the good news here, i think, president trump has always been very strong in support of infrastructure. i think he s pushing the senate to improve that bill in my view, and he is worried, like as i am, that this will be just the pilot chute that deploys that massive tax and spend bill. that is a major concern and it s valid. you ve been big on going after people that you say
hook knife and i think alan had a knife that was already in his rig. it was kind of like on his harness right here. but it was plastic. i bought him a better knife. it was just a present to my buddy the day before. with his new knife, alan finally frees himself of both chutes. now in free fall, he has less than ten seconds until impact. we were under 1 rk,000 feet. then i saw the pilot chute come out. he pulled out of that at about 700 feet. with little time to spare, he coasts to a landing completely unscathed. luckily his reserve chute deployed even though he was so close to the ground. we all gathered at the ground and he was just laughing and carrying on. he was back up in the air that day. i mean, alan is just my hero. he never gave up for one second. the very next day, the team breaks the world record for canopy formation. one of those skydivers? alan.
cord. if you don t pull your chute in time, you re going to hit the ground. that will make it dangerous. simply jumping off a bridge isn t insane enough for alex so he decides to make things a bit more interesting. i tried to do a front flip half twist into a back flip for my first jump at like 5:00 in the morning. i was barely awake and just not coherent with myself. alex s fancy flip work costs him more time than he can afford. he can t deploy his chute in the four-second time limit. and now he s deep into the danger zone. he just died. the ground was coming up really fast, and i was like freaking out. i just threw my pilot chute as fast as i could. but it isn t fast enough. alex hits the ground traveling more than 100 miles per hour. when i hit the ground it was lights out. i woke up about 15 seconds later on my back floating downstream in a daze about what had just happened.
i went, oh, no. don t do that. he s dropping like a bowling ball and slams right into the back of bland s legs, sending the base of the stack into a free fall. it s a scary moment, but bland recovers quickly. scotty burns, with his camera still rolling, dives to check on his friend. i flew over next to him and gave him an okay signal. he had a big old smile on his face and kind of a look like what the heck was that? and i know what he interpreted as a smile was a grimace, but that i said ouch. bland is hurting, but he has a bigger concern. i didn t know if my gear had been damaged. my pilot chute or some other part of my gear could have been opened and i might not have been aware of it. i could see from his face looking straight at my face that nothing else was wrong. so at that point, i knew i was okay. bland immediately turns his
