Parachute Jumper

Product Information

A static line descent can be made after usually about 6 hours of ground training and involves the student jumper leaving the aircraft at 3500 feet. The main parachute is deployed using a device called a ‘static line’. This is a length of webbing attached to the aircraft at one end and the bag, in which the main parachute is kept, at the other, as the jumper falls away from the aircraft, the static line pulls the main parachute out and begins the deployment. When your instructor deploys the chute at around 5000ft, expect a jerk as the falling stops and you go upwards for a second or two. It's only then your brain really registers the sensation that you are descending.

Frank Hagney as Marine officer in Nicaragua who tells Bill and Toodles, "this binge of yours has cost the government a small fortune — consider yourselves under arrest" Our team of experienced and qualified skydivers are here to guide you through the whole process from start (ground training) to finish, helping you to have a once in a lifetime experience. Our tandem parachute jumping experience is the perfect way to get started in becoming a qualified tandem instructor or for just a one off experience. Bill Keller and "Toodles" Cooper ( Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Frank McHugh) are Marine pilots exercising a little bit of American imperialism in Nicaragua. (The US actually did fight an undeclared war in Nicaragua in the late 1920s and early 1930s.). Bill and Toodles get shot down, and somehow make their way to a town where they are busy engaging in wine, women, and song when they are caught by military police. They are summarily drummed out of the Marine Corps. Video Credits: Of all the principals at the start of the film, as was Warner Brothers house style in this era.

Anything Else

Skydiving is one of today’s most exciting sports. Dynamic and colourful, it offers mastery of the air and the freedom to make the skies your own! In early October 1932—several months before the film's release—the entertainment trade paper The Film Daily reported that Warner Bros. had changed the name of the production from simply Parachute to Parachute Jumper. [3] Stanley Blystone as cop who tells Alabama and Toodles to "get a move on or you'll be coolin' your heels in a can" Clips of Parachute Jumper are featured in the prologue of the first film version of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) as an example of the supposedly poor quality of the film work of Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) as an adult. [4]

Availability

The parachute or canopy used is a modern ‘square parachute’ made of technically advanced materials and specifically designed to allow the student jumper to steer the canopy to the landing area. A radio attached to the jumper’s helmet is often used to coach the student and assist in the landing of the parachute. Cut to New York, where Bill and Toodles are looking for work and not finding it, and going hungry. They meet Pat "Alabama" Brent ( Bette Davis), a secretary who is also out of work and also hungry (it's the Great Depression) and apparently considering hooking. Flipping the Bird: Toodles, who is trying to hitchhike (and flee the police) gives the bird to a passing car that doesn't stop. Why yes, this film was made in The Pre-Code Era. Shaking the Rump: After the opening shot of biplanes in combat, the first shot is a rather surprising close-up of a woman shaking her bottom at the camera, said bottom filling the entire scene. Bill and Toodles are in a Nicaraguan cantina enjoying the company of local ladies.
