Skydiver gets hung up on VA Tech Lane Stadium scoreboard
- Thread starter DaytonRickster
- Start date
Looked like he was fighting the wind and thought he could clear the scoreboard. Fortunately he was OK. The other parachutist in the background chose to abort way earlier.
Obviously this is on James

James should have loaned them his golden parachute.
It was indeed pretty windy in this neck of the woods yesterday. Last half hour of a three hour bike ride into it, with my hr a steady 10 beats above calculated max.
The parachuter got off to a great start, and a perfect finish looked like a sure thing. Then he lost his composure at the end and crashed.

Obviously this was an obvious lack of experience and training leading to an obvious incident.
so obviously…..
FIRE FRANKLIN!!!!

If no one got seriously hurt, then it's not a bad accident. More of an embarrassing accident. Potentially bad.
I'm bored with this fascination with JF. I liked him and supported him when he was our coach. He was fired. I'm tired of the back and forth sniping. I wish him well except when we compete with him on the field of play or in recruiting . I'm no longer interested in JF.

The cure for your issue it to not click on it - works every time.

He struggled to get the parachutist and the wind properly aligned. “It was the right call to make. Obviously we wanted him to land on the 50-yard line but the wind had other ideas so you have to adjust.

This obviously is not James fault nor style. Were he involved, the parachutist would have been the top recruit on his big board. Along with his high school coach, parents and financial advisor. Go big or don’t go at all.
BGJ the worst thing the BoT ever dreamed up, next to clamming Joe.
My exact thoughts. The skydiver crashing had nothing to do with JF; I simply began the thread as an interesting occurrence. Lately for some of these posters, any mention of JF or CMC, sets off a need to begin comparisons or throw mud. Their comments ruin many threads.
I’m surprised James didn’t summons a scissor lift to rescue the poor lad on such a windy day. It would be consistent with his clock management abilities.
“We lost the parachute battle. I have a ton of respect for the wind.”
Good luck Hokies .......... or not!The parachuter got off to a great start, and a perfect finish looked like a sure thing. Then he lost his composure at the end and crashed.
