Looks like the gene pool has another floater.

I remember that from those days. Super Stock & Drag Illustrated did a series of articles about that project. I think I still have those magazines in a box somewhere.

There was also a feature on discovery some years ago on it.

As you see on the film the parachutes started to deploy even before he left the ramp.

Crazy to say the least.

I've jumped a little further than that

Excellent choice for an aerodynamic vehicle.

Isn't that the exact same thing that happened with Evel Knievel and his rocket car? Seems kind of fishy to me. I don't think either of them intended to actually complete the jump. Still a crazy stunt though.
