| Description: | New Chute Techniques Super-sonic speeds have posed new problems to parachute makers and jumpers. Air force test the chutes in hair raising jumps, delayed for thousands of feet. Slow motion shot of a parachutist of his body just floating in the air twisting and turning and finely landing safely. The second parachutist has flairs in his hands and ankles and two little parachutes are opened in front as he's coming down finely he opens the large parachute and he lands safely. There's a crowd of military watching taking in the sights of these brave men who jump. | |
