Title: w0w..skydiver + bird =
Post by: luckee on February 19, 2002, 11:31:12 PM

"While looking at this picture, one might think that the skydiver who got hit by this Titmouse pulled way too low but he did
                          not! Statistically it\'s almost impossible, but during a formation jump, a member of the "Fila-Team" from Austria had this
                          dangerous encounter at 5,900 feet. Fortunately, the bird got stuck in the visor of his helmet and only left him with a cut
                          and a black-and-blue eye. As far as we know, such an incident in our sport never was reported before. These birds
                          normally never fly at such a height, and the jumpers assume that the extreme heat of that day caused the bird to get
                          lost on its hunt for insects. So watch out...you\'ll never know!"
