Rollo pls quit your awkward lowkey trolling. You already sent me an uncomfortable PM the other week which I let slide but now you're in here saying this is a loving mother etc. If this was my kid he'd have to climb to that roof over my dead body.
The mother should never have assumed this was a good idea and of course should have taken for granted that this isn't going to end well because he's, get this, 15. He should never have been allowed to pursue such a foolish and reckless stunt under any circumstances.
Aside from that, you seem to be missing the point that the parachute was homemade and hopelessly inadequate. If you are planning a low altitude base jump you better have the right equipment or you will end up a pancake.
Anyway, you openly admit you're not suicidal which as such is okay but when you're posting just to get a rise out of people and sending them unwelcome messages it's probably time to seek greener pastures. This isn't a zoo.
Well I'm only saying she's a loving mother cause it's true. Or rather there's nothing in this story to suggest she's not. My PM to you wasn't meant to be uncomfortable, I know I didn't insult you or demean you in any way. It's just being exposed to foreign opinions is uncomfortable. I assume you don't have kids and you're a male so it only goes to show this mentality doesn't depend upon having kids or being female.
I fully believe you that you don't think it was a 'good idea' and you wouldn't let your kid do it. I'm saying it's not loving part of you. It's purely judgemental part of you that wishes to discipline.
It could have well ended well with his parachute opening and him landing. It didn't though. That's why they call it 'risk'. All these words like 'reckless' and 'foolish' - they are meaningless. All risk is reckless, even you starting your car.
I didn't miss any points. You did big time when you said how it's so ridiculous to even suggest that parachute would open at this height. 'Never in a million years buid enough drag resistance', 'that's why they jump from 12000 feet' etc. And yet the reality is exact opposite. Same way you have absolutely no clue whether his parachute was adequate or not, had it opened. But it malfunctioned and didn't open - that's a given. Then again professonal parachutes sometimes malfunction too.
I don't post any of it to get a rise out of anyone - it's just reality. Or rather my honest opinion of what the reality is if you want me to be more humble. If you personally uncomfortable with it, it's not my opinion's fault.
