Around him. i need to make sure i am aiming myself back towards the drop zone to make sure i m safe and to make sure everybody else gets back. i consider that my responsibility as the person on the bottom. but as quickly as bland reorients himself, unbelievably, it happens again. another pocket of dead air, and another midair collision. this time, two different wing-suit fliers. as they tumble in the sky, the team reaches 5,000 feet and bland signals to pull their parachutes, unsure if everyone is accounted for. after we opened the parachutes, i look around to see the correct number of people are there. i knew how many people we had in the flock when we left the airplane. and then i counted that number of parachutes, plus mine, when we opened. so i knew everybody had a parachute open. they could have been hurt, but they weren t dead. when they land, bland finds out that everybody in the group ....
A parachute open. they could have been hurt, but they weren t dead. when they land, bland finds out that everybody in the group is okay. his legs and back are very sore from the impact, but more than anything, he s thankful the episode is over. it was a huge feeling of relief to finally get my feet back on the ground. there a rule, that it s better to be down here wishing you were up there, than to be up there wishing you were down here. but if you think this brush with death will cause scott bland to stop jumping out of planes, think again. a lot of people look at skydiving and think these people are just nuts. they have a death wish. this is not the kind of thing i could do. there s no payoff without some kind of risk. and if you take a graduated risk, the payoff can be well worth it. jumping from 6,000 feet above one of the coldest and most remote places on earth, a wing-suit flier misjudges his altitude and crashes into a ....
