Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

The pilot was Capt. Chris Stricklin and it seems this took place at an air show in Idaho in 2003.

Did he died?

If you look at that image, he ejected...

Yes, but that's an awfully low ejection to expect a parachute to deploy. He's going awfully fast and is strapped to the chair when he hits the ground.

Here's the video. You can see the parachute deploy for a split second, and the info explains that he survived.

Stricklin, who was not injured, ejected...

Holy wow, that's crazy.

Yeah he ejected just 0.8 seconds before the plane slams to the ground. That's about as close as it gets, me thinks.

A gun fires the first parachute out, and horizontal speed pulls the rest out fairly quickly. It is low though.

That makes a lot of sense, I hadn't thought of that. Glad to hear he survived.

That's why the ejection seat has rockets. They shoot you up into the air so you have enough time for your parachute to deploy.

Coming right at the camera...

The video

He survived, ejecting 0.8 seconds before the plane slammed into the ground.

The moment you realize that you've made a very expensive mistake.
