i heard about that... doesnt it just sound more like a joke?

though it could be fun, i was stunned to find out that people actually do this. :D
 
It is a joke! :D

are you sure? i saw some of the accident reports.. not that they are hard to fake... sounds like fun... if i was wasted..... :D but it is kinda hard to believe
 
There is no way to be scooped up into a water bomber. They have grates on the scoops so they don't pick up wood or any other debris. I guess it might be possible to sneak into a bambi bucket but I've never seen one and the pilots have bubble windows so they can see you coming.
Now there is a sport where you can jump out of a helicopter in full dive gear in Australia I think.
 
It is a joke!!!

If it were for real, I thank God for Darwin's Law of Survival of the Fittest. In this case, the the non-dumb-asses vs. the dumb-asses.

Also, if it were for real, the new sport of fire diver drops onto bullseye targets would be gaining popularity. This would entail the pilot dropping the bucket and diver onto a bullseye with a strategically designed bucket to try to contain all of the diver's splattered blood in the confines of the bullseye, let alone having the diver and bucket actually hit the bullseye.

Also think about a 100 mph airplane and bucket heading toward you and scooping you up. Possible?

If you said yes, then you will know that fire divers have been credited with finding and capturing Big Foot:D

Crap, you just let the cat out of the bag.

PADI has been trying to keep it quiet. But now that it's out you can get Fire Diver, Nessy, Lake Champlain, Big Foot, Area 54 and USO certification ALL IN ONE. But you still have the option of 23 individual cards if your billfold is a little on the thin side.

Cost for single classes will be around $15K each but combined will only run $59,999.00 with a sack luch being provided. It all inclusive except for transportation, Study materials, text books, air, Nitrox, Sonar, boat and aircraft rentals, lodging, instructor lodging, gear rental and anything other than the cost of the cards and postage.

Spaces are filling fast so hurry and get registered at your local mental hospital.

I'm going to sign my mother in-law up if it turns out to be real.
 
Sorry N@rco$i$, but there's only two teams in Florida (one in the Central League and one in the East Coast League) and they aren't in Pasco County. They are the The Ft Myers Blaze Bouncers and the Florida Fire Flyers (of Ft Myers). Come on down, I'll get you a tryout.
