Great stuff! Thought the jumper put on a pretty good macho imitation.

Give it a few months and it will be a great story. He'll be wondering why
he's embellishing it. Listeners will think he's nuts.

Just in case anyone hasn't jumped a round before.......from what I saw he
was right to deploy his reserve. The round reserve is designed to fly with
the main. There is no need to cut away as you do with a square.
Everyone should jump a round at least once... :-)

Try Windows Media Player, I'm on dial-up right now so can't download the
file to tell you the codec it's in.

Yeah, then he won't be able to play it in Quicktime, just download DivX
codec from http://www.divx.com/divx and play it any other video player.
