Haha since its in Africa? This is in South Africa, used to be a first world country when a white man was in power. It's as modern as any other country out there I assure you. I am south african, born and raised, and have gone skydiving there as well.Originally posted by liquidboi69
That says the 'typical' height of skydiving. What if this wasn't a typical skydive...since it's in Africa mabey they didn't have any private aircraft that could travel to higher altitudes due to acessibility and budget restrictions. Basejumpers jump from like 400m up and they seem to open their chutes in time too, so 1000m isn't unbelievable.
