WOW is right. Now there's a case for a camera with a high frame rate, and a fast card! What a sequence.

I just don't think they were meant to fly! What great photography, I would have fallen off the ladder and missed the shot.

When I see things like this discussed by photographers, I am always reminded of "keep an eye out" During an incident like this, this is the time when pros or amateurs at an event sometimes aren't paying attention to their environment.
Back in the late 60's or so either Pop Photo or Modern used to have a interesting photo on a page of it's own just before the back cover.
One time it showed a dramatic photo of a photographer at a race track on the grass somewhere attending to his camera on a tripod, oblivious to the peril that was about to do him in. Apparently there was a bad crash, and this photo showed a wheel from the wreck flying in mid-air, about to come down on the photographer and kill him. "Keep an eye out!"
Happy that no one was injured in this latest mishap!

Great sequence. Dixon was quoted after, saying, to effect, "I still feel safer on the track than in traffic driving to the track."

What is amazing is that he had the presence of mind to deploy his chute!
