Mark from Hypoxic did few jumps from Skydive Arizona's (Eloy) Freefly money meet that was captured with Sony's latest AVCHD camcorder. A standard def .3x lens was used during most of the jumps since the closeness of the subject and I did not have access to a .3 high def lens at the time. There are a few .5x HD lens scenes. Thanks go out to Cynthia Currie and Steve Curtis for some great video. All jumps used the HYPEYE D PRO from Hypoxic for control

What is d3o?
(dee-three-oh) is a specially engineered material made with intelligent molecules. They flow with you as you move but on shock lock together to absorb the impact energy.
What does it mean for Skydivers to have in the new Cookie Helmets?
Traditional skydiving helmet liners are made from a range of material like PE and EVA with an exterior comfort covering. Whilst these materials are fantastic for thermo forming and comfort there ability to transmitt impact forces is limiting.
Looking at the graph you can easily determine that the material surpases other materias in it's ability to transmit forces.
For more info on d3o please visit there web site here
