Re: Navy SEAL Dies In Parachute Accident

Wish we knew what the circumstances of the incident were, the night HALO (High Altitude, Low Open) jumps they do are incredibly dangerous.

Re: Navy SEAL Dies In Parachute Accident

This is bad news and I feel for the family. However as a former instructor at the US Army Basic Airborne Course, its well know / rumored that the Navy's progran is not safe. I use to hear from those in the pipeline for SEAL/UDT/EOD that they shouldn't have to do the Army's basic course. We would have to remind them that the Navy's (static line) version was closed as it was too dangerous.
God bless them, but those guys approach things with a F-It attitude. So this isn't all that suprising. But it is sad.
