    freefall? as in pilot chute in hand? no. only if your equipment is a brand new pine box. if youre feeling this lucky go buy a lottery ticket. or go buy a vtec from br with your question...

    Well, as you seem pretty serious about that stuff.
    First of all. I would not do it!!!!!! But if you've got the balls, get a BIG (50-52)pilot chute, prime your rig seriously so that it's almost falling apart and go for it. Get a good pitch and the baby is yours. I , however, would get A LOT MORE information about that ultra ultra low stuff before trying anything like that.
    stay focused and safe

    ps: maybe a v-tec is essential too for this jump.

    My personal opinion is that if you're asking other people if it's possible you're not ready to try something like that. Be sure in your own mind what is and isn't possible when talking about ultra low objects then make an informed decision by yourself.

    Although I tend to lean toward the conservative side, I also do not like to bathe in bone marrow. I have sensitive skin...A better question you should ask yourself is..."Could I make this jump successfully a dozen times?" Or better yet, take a shovel and dig a 30' hole at the impact zone. :-)

    it's always better to ask from experienced base jumpers then to try everything your self, what advabtage you get from that ? advice is the best thing to do before a jump where you are not sure of it and you know that somebody else on planet earth already tried it...

    keep safe :)
