reno, stead. went out shooting with some friends. the national guard had a bunch of radar equipment out and were very very busy around the stead air base area. we went to our usual spot in the hills with a very good view of the base, and a large twin rotor helicopter flew by and 8 troopers jumped out at about 500 ft. on the second pass about 1/2 hr. later i had my binoculars out and was watching. this time 7 troopers jumped, and i saw the last guy flopping in the wind about 5 feet out the door. looked like his static line hung up. they pulled him back in and went about business, but i bet he had to clean his shorts after that one!
i am proud to see our guys out training, and it would have really bummed me out if he had been hurt.

That was a wind dummie. Good thing he did not pull his reserve or the jump master would have
had to cut his static line.
