  • Man jumps out of plane, dies.

    This story is local to me, being only about 20 minutes away....

    http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegrap...006003,00.html

    A MAN who jumped out of a plane without a parachute - smashing in the roof of this house (right) when he landed - committed suicide, police said today.

    Sloan Carafello died on Saturday after falling 10,000 feet onto the house near the Duanesburg Airport in New York State.

    The 29-year-old from Schenectady, who had joined the skydiving flight as a non-jumping observer, horrified the pilot and witnesses by hurling himself out of the single engine plane in the parachurtists' wake.
    Theres more in the link.

    The guy was supposedly going to take pictures for a school project.
    As the pilot was about to "rock" the door shut, Carafello unblucked himself and lept from the plane.

    One of the skydivers was a videographer and had a camcorder on him at the time. In the video, you supposedly see Carafello falling, taking pictures of himself. He kept his back to the ground the whole time.

    Police will not release the video.

    The house he hit...


    I thought this was pretty interesting, and of course sad. The man was considered as a quiet resident at the local YMCA.

    Wow. Well that's one way to do it. Maybe he just wanted to be remembered. Very sad though he couldn't get help before he made a decision like that..

      Reading the title of the thread, I thought for sure you were going to say a parachute didn't open over at Mohawk Valley airport, and I'd have to re-think my whole idea of actually wanting to skydive, lol...

      Very interesting way to commit the deed though...

        You mean you didn't hear of this?
        It was all over my school yesterday and today.

        If the guy wanted attention, I think he got it.
        Like said before, sad he couldn't get the proper help.

          Nope. The second I got home from work yesterday, I took the boat out until 9PM. Took advantage of this heat wave we're getting.

          Now today im stuck at work until released, thanks to all these wonderful storms. (I work at N-Grid)

            Ouch. Yeah its been crazy humid and hot here. School with no A/C sucks.

            Schools around here were let out early because of HEAT! I think thats just crazy.
            Supposed to have T-Storms here, but none yet.

                Good thing the guys on the plane had a video of everything... would be EXTREMELY hard to rule out homicide...

                  x2 to both... too bad... although i don't imagine it would be a bad way to go... i don't imagine you would feel anything... ill keep in mind the family and friends or his... IMO suicide is selfish

                      Imagine deciding mid-fall that you really don't want to die. Personally I don't think falling out of a plane, back to the ground would be relaxing.

                          So do you think he was like "oh ****, I regret this decision immediately." Eh.. natural selection is harsh.

                            not saying that couldn't happen, but physically, not too bad of a way to go i think... not much pain

                              I wonder if he died on impact or in the air.
