Gary Connery recently jumped out of a helicopter from 2,400 feet and landed without a parachute. Although he didn't use a parachute, he still had one - you know, just in case. Another somewhat important piece of information: he was wearing a wingsuit - basically a suit that makes a
human more like a flying squirrel. The video analysis in this item explores the physics behind this stunt. The zip file contains the Skydiving Without a Parachute entry, a video of Gary Connery landing, and a Tracker video analysis file. A discussion of the physics for a car on the wall was posted on the Dot Physics blog for Wired. To open the Tracker file, download and run Tracker from http://www.cabrillo.edu/~dbrown/tracker/. Tracker is free. Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.6 of Java (JRE). Please note that this resource requires Xuggle.
