NY man, 70, killed in Pa. skydiving midair mishap

EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Authorities in Pennsylvania say a 70-year-old skydiver from New York was killed when his parachute got tangled with another man's and he fell to the ground.

State police say Theodore Wilson, of New Rochelle, N.Y., and 75-year-old George Flynn, of Colonia, N.J., tumbled about 75 feet to the ground after their open parachutes became entangled Saturday in the Pocono Mountains.

Wilson was killed. Flynn is in critical condition at Lehigh Valley Hospital.

The men had jumped at Sky's the Limit Skydiving at the Stroudsburg-Pocono Airport, about 70 miles north of Philadelphia.

Solo jumps!

Besides, I'm still a noob to it all so I wouldn't be jumping in formation or any crap like that.

Oh that makes it better. Atleast when you hit the ground you will be by yourself and everyone else would be on the ground watching the thud! Seems like a lonely and hard way to go!

For me it's the exact opposite. It would be awesome to have that sense of adrenaline and then the thud which more that likely will wipe you out right away. Without going into "best way to die" talks, I wouldn't mind this being one way.

Your a freak! You can go ahead and jump out of a plane and risk it for me. I will stay on the ground where I belong!

Who would want one of those small sport bike things ? unless you wanted one to strip down to see how it worked but I could give every one a walk thro on the design & you could leave the bikes to some cause !
