"He did a ‘swan dive’ but broke his legs??? He must be doing something wrong. "

A parachute landing fall (PLF) is a technique used to safely land after a parachute jump by distributing the landing impact across multiple points of contact with the ground. The sequence involves hitting the ground with the balls of the feet, then the calf, thigh, buttocks, and finally the side of the back. This sequential impact helps to absorb and dissipate the landing force, reducing the risk of injury.

Oh wait! The dude didn't have a parachute. Sorry, I lost my head for a minute.

Also, ice is SLIPPERY. Just look how his legs were spread to the sides on landing.

Yes, I remember a Houston gun store's billboard advertisement. "Protect yourself from the Katrina refugees: buy a gun today."

Or, something to that effect. Houston's Social Justice Warriors were all in an uproar about it. I thought it was great.

>>>slippery slope

When he vaulted the rail, he did not realize the skating rink surface would slick as ice.

A good question.

His attorneys are working on a plan, “Sun glasses so ugly, that forced me to jump.”

the suspect shouted, 'Come get me,' right before jumping.

Another one for the dumb criminals file.

That and a PLF goes with a bit of horizontal drift to distribute the impact.

The jamoke was not warned about doing a standup.

That was the scheduled topic in his science class, but they had LBGXYZ training in its place, and no makeup day.

It looked like there was some blood on the inside of his leg but that might also just be the print on his pants.

I must apologize for laughing at your screen name. I can do that now.

A hot sunny day far away and a gaggle of grunts were humping along, then we hit the shite!
Not directly on us, but still NOT GOOD!

We were spread out in a very shallow and overgrown drainage depression, not deep enough to be called a ditch, but lots of green growth to provide concealment.

Slowly advancing like face down worms in the mud, then I saw IT!!!

Like an ugly green dinner plate, pointed at me, a Chicom Claymore, and I am dead?

Whoever was manning that position must have been called away???

And we made a change of direction.

Now I can laugh about Claymores.

:: Perhaps he was overcome by ice glare off the rink?
Also, over the years, I have become firmly attached to my legs and try to avoid injuring them.::

Sorry, I don’t know what RVN is.
