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.

pocket of dead air caused by another flier s wake. i started to see zach slightly move backwards. 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
