You all know I am a proponent of ultralights, as well as ballistic parachutes, but this is too much... Most notably, the final scene.

A soundtrack of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" really ties this one together.

I had time to say ahh "S" 3 time before impact.

After that the pilot probably wished he had not opted for the parachute.

OK, those were just pure stupidity. Course I used to do dumb stuff like that in my ultralight too. Just so darn tempting to fly low when you're that slow! Here's the documentation even.

Did the parachute guy survive? Face planting like that would hurt (a lot)

No idea, it did look pretty painful.

Not suppose to deploy the drog chute on a loop?

That had to hurt. Be like one of those UFC guys hitting you in the face. Then stomping the crud out of ya while your down.

Only been in a flying lawn chair twice. Nervous both times.

See ya, Bub
