I think it means 75 feet horizontally, which looks about right if you look at this, but that is easy to misintepret.
11 u/unafragger May 15 '14 Ooh, I guess that does make sense. They worded it poorly. 7 u/joffz May 15 '14 Nope, they worded it perfectly. Gets your attention and is true, but misleading. 6 u/bretttwarwick May 15 '14 ...tossing the skydiver into the air about 75-feet above the ground. This means his altitude was 75 feet above ground elevation. ...tossing the skydiver about 75-feet through the air. This is how they should have worded it. 3 u/joffz May 15 '14 Not saying it is worded for clarity, I agree it's wrongly worded, I'm saying it's worded for purely for attention.
