| Parachuting dog helped win World War II Posted: 10 Jun 2015 03:54 PM PDT Parachuting dog helped win World War II Skydiving canine aided development of tech key to Allied victory in the air  "Major," a St. Bernard resembling the one pictured, was tossed from a plane at 26,000 feet to test parachute straps at a high altitude. Wearing a custom-fit oxygen mask, he dog-paddled all the way down for a safe touchdown. By Heather Whipps The Allied airmen and women of World War II were certainly brave and skilled in battle, but even they couldn't win the war on their own. Plagued in the early, low-tech years of the war by dangerous afflictions such as altitude and decompression sickness, pilots got some help behind the front lines from a team of American physiologists who studied the effects on the body of flying. Their research, which involved at least one parachuting dog, and the technology it initiated was a key to the Allied victory in the air, says Jay B. Dean of the University of South Florida College of Medicine. "[Pilots] had two enemies — they had the enemy shooting at them and they had the unseen enemy, which was the environment," he said. "The physiologists knew that they had to do something to learn to protect the health of the war fighter." Dean presented his research at a recent Experimental Biology conference in San Diego and is working on a book about Allied advances in aviation physiology. Early flight no cake walk Aviation in the late 1930s and early 1940s, just under 40 years removed from the Wright brothers' feat at Kitty Hawk, was nothing like the high-tech industry it is today. When World War II began, planes weren't heated or even pressurized, even though pilots were forced to climb to very high altitudes to avoid the enemy. "They were supposed to fly at about 25,000 feet; well, they were pushing them up to 30,000 and 35,000 feet to try to get above the enemy flak from the ground," Dean said. At that height, the airmen were exposed to temperatures of 40 below to 70 below zero Fahrenheit, as  Early fighter planes had no cabin pressurization. That means less oxyen for pilots, who could become dazed due to the lack of it. The Army Air Corps began using the Boeing P-26 Peashooter in 1933. well as very low air pressure. "If there's less pressure, there's less oxygen," Dean said, "and you begin to lose your ability to think clearly. You can imagine trying to wage warfare and have a sharp mind if you're slowly becoming hypoxic," or losing oxygen content in the blood, he said. Though the Allies had kept up with the Axis powers in aircraft technology, their knowledge about how the body reacted to high altitudes lagged well behind, according to historical accounts. The tests that began a few years after the War began became crucial to the military effort, Dean said. "The air war had become a physiological war," Dean said in a recent interview, noting that the common perception "was that the first power to fly routinely at 40,000 feet would win." Dogpaddling at 26,000 feet Starting out with just one hypobaric chamber, which mimics the conditions of a high altitude environment, an Ohio laboratory set up by World War II physiologists quickly focused on finding solutions to the worst problems pilots faced, Dean said. About one quarter of the men on bombing missions — which could last up to 10 hours —complained of decompression sickness, the painful blood affliction scuba divers commonly call "the bends." The physiologists discovered that the effects of the bends could be minimized by breathing pure oxygen before takeoff. Weirdest science storiesBlood tests and lung capacity tests were also conducted to figure out the limits of the human lung. When the simulations weren't sufficient, the physiologists put their bodies on the line, Dean said. One doctor made a high-altitude jump himself to experience the strain on the body, nearly killing himself, and was able to calculate exactly when an airman's parachute should be opened to limit the impact of the g-forces, said Dean. And "Major," a 145-pound St. Bernard dog, was also tossed from a plane at 26,000 feet to test parachute straps at a high altitude. Sporting his own custom oxygen mask, Major dog-paddled all the way down and landed safely, witnesses said. Relevant to the space program The research conducted during the War was relevant long after 1945, Dean said. "A lot of what we learned about pulmonary mechanics came from the war effort, when they were developing the oxygen-breathing equipment," he said. And just like their WWII predecessors, astronauts performing space walks outside the pressurized safety of their shuttle today still breathe pure oxygen for 12 hours to reduce the risk of the decompression sickness. |

| Would This Doctor Prescribe Base Jumping? Posted: 10 Jun 2015 03:42 PM PDT  Would This Doctor Prescribe Base Jumping? By Christian Weiss | April 7, 2015 Omer Mei-Dan somehow links medicine and extreme sports, and is an extreme base jumping doctor. The Israeli base jumping doctor is not just an orthopedic surgeon, but also a celebrated extreme sportsman. The extreme athlete of a doctor at age 42, is one of those, 1500-3000 numbered worldwide, who are part of a group of BASE jumpers, who dive off buildings, antennas, spans, and earth platforms which makes skydiving look like "cradle jumping." The extreme base jumping doctor was recently focused on Orthopedics Today's where he was a perfect choice to speak at the International Extreme Sports Medicine Annual Congress. There, he offered data on people who engage in extreme sports, whom he obviously shares commonalities with. The daredevil doctor as he is known, is also a celebrated surgeon. Born in Israel, he moved to Colorado in 2012 where he has a robust medical practice at the University of Colorado and Boulder. While he was in medical school, Dr. Mei-Dan was Redbull-sponsored, and an extreme sports athlete with corporate sponsors like McDonald's and Coca-Cola. Dr. Mei-Dan was also featured on a 10 episode series on Fox Sports called "Cutting Edge, MD", that focused on his practice with injured professional athletes.  Base jumping is a sport that is extremely dangerous. Even the tiniest of mistakes such as a strong gust of wind, or faulty equipment, can mean a sudden and violent end. Base jumpers have to deploy their parachutes within milliseconds and usually don wind suits for their often times, risky descents. The base jumping doctor had a lot to say about BASE jumping and extreme sports in an interview in Boulder, CO, where he lives with his wife and three children. In the interview he mentions that BASE jumping is a sport dictated by life and death and his admiration for extreme sports athletes. Medically they have the ability to sustain, endure, and even enjoy amounts of stress that other people would be unable to cope with. He was quoted as saying that he enjoys the thrill and fear. Dr. Mei-Dan is truly a remarkable athlete and daredevil extreme. He stays active in other sports such as ice climbing in the winter, white water kayaking in the summer, and rock climbing and mountaineering all year round. We hope to see more of the base jumping doctor and his extreme athleticism in the near future. |
| Trial begins for BASE jumpers who parachuted down from top of One World Trade Center Posted: 10 Jun 2015 03:32 PM PDT Trial begins for BASE jumpers who parachuted down from top of One World Trade Center in 2013 BY Shayna Jacobs NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Monday, June 8, 2015, 7:00 PM  Jefferson Siegel/New York Daily News Marko Markovich (center) arrives in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday. Makovich, along with buddies Andrew Rossig and James Brady were arrested for parachuting off the Freedom Tower. A trio of thrill-seekers who jumped from atop the One World Trade Center construction site put glory before public safety — and then flaunted their wrongdoing, prosecutors argued Monday. "This case is about the defendants' decision to exploit a New York City monument for their own selfish thrill and to turn the Freedom Tower into a crime scene before its doors were even open," Assistant District Attorney Joseph Giovannetti argued in his opening statement at their trial in Manhattan Supreme Court. "They knew it was serious. They knew it was dangerous. But they did it anyway simply because they wanted to," the prosecutor added. James Brady, 33, Andrew Rossig, 34, and Marko Markovich, 28, admittedly took the plunge from the 1,776 foot tower around 3 a.m. on Sept. 30, 2013. Brady, an iron worker at the building site, was the "inside man" who helped get the other two access to the then-unfinished skyscraper, Giovannetti said. The trio taped their feat and were proud of what they did, the prosecutor said. Rossig, wrote his mother a note saying, "Sorry mom for what it's worth but I had to write some history," Giovannetti said. Rossig also had $8000 set aside and a lawyer at the ready in case they got "pinched," the prosecutor said.  Previous Next Enlarge When they were caught about six months later after a police manhunt, they were charged with burglary, a felony, along with misdemeanor reckless endangerment and unauthorized jumping from a structure - which for the moment is the tallest in the country. But lawyers for the jumpers say the district attorney trumped up charges to make the case a felony, that that they are all guilty of illegally jumping from a city structure - not the more serious charges. The fact that they did not plunge from indoors means the element of burglary that requires a crime committed "therein" does not apply, the lawyers say. And they were not reckless because even though skydiving and BASE jumping are "inherently dangerous" activities, they are pros who were able to control their landing, Rossig's lawyer Tim Parlatore said. "The evidence in this case will show that every step that could be taken to minimize the danger was taken," Parlatore told the 12-member jury. Parlatore, co-counsel Andrew Mancilla, who represents Brady and Joseph Corozzo, Markovich's attorney, invited the panel to convict their clients of the local city law of jumping from a structure.  Jefferson Siegel/New York Daily News Andrew Rossig (left) had $8,000 set aside and had already contacted a lawyer in case the group was caught pulling off the stunt, according to prosecutors. "Check the guilty box on that one," Parlatore said. "He did it and he's willing to accept responsibility." "No one was hurt. No one was injured in any way -- not even close," Mancilla told jurors. "And that's how they planned it." He said the jumping "conditions were perfect and by all accounts this was a perfectly executed jump." Corozzo told the panel to "relax" and enjoy the stunning GoPro footage of the jump because it was a "simple case" and their decision would be easy in the end. "Was the intent to commit the crime inside the building or outside the building? That's what this case is all about."  Jefferson Siegel/New York Daily News James Brady (left) was an iron worker at the construction site for the then-unfinished building, which gave the trio access to do the daring — and illegal — jump. The defendants have said they were willing to cop to misdemeanors but not to felonies, which would significantly impact their lives. Brady is in a construction union, Rossig is a union carpenter and Markovich is a skydiving instructor. A Pick-A-Bagel manager was the first witness against the men. He testified about seeing an unidentified man, later determined to be Rossig, wearing a face mask and hurrying to put away a parachute as he hustled away from his landing spot in the area of Vesey St. The manager, Mohamed Alzainy, said that he first thought it was a police training drill he had witnessed but then, "the way he was looking behind and hiding was so suspicious." |
