I am surprised every time I see this picture pop up. I helped design the harness pictured based off my need for it. The guy in the picture, Mike F., did the sewing based off of my design and jumped his FEMA dog, Cara (pictured) at the WFFC in Rantoul in 2005. I was there for this jump and when they landed. Mike went on to sell this harness to K9 storm I believe. I've seen a few variations of the photo where some one has photoshopped the moral patch seen on it (USSO) and another different one. There was no moral patch on the harness when the jump was made.
Very cool picture. Does the dog get any supplemental O2?
What was the jump height if you don't mind me asking, just trying to calculate her /your freefall time, presuming it was HALO?
Edit; bum syntax
Cara had supplemental O2 via a vet sedation mask for the entire pre breath and during the plane ride to altitude. Since there was no good way to keep it on her during freefall along with a bail out bottle, she came off O2 just prior to exit.
So the dog had nothing to breathe while falling? Am I reading this correctly? I never jumped out of a perfectly good aircraft so am trying to figure it out. I know what HALO/HAHO means. At what altitude would you need O2? About 15k-16k?
This is fucked up.

There have been a few guys who have climbed Mt. Everest (29000ft) without supplemental oxygen. They are exerting themselves much more and for a longer duration then a skydiver would. I think the danger zone for hypoxia is above 26000ft. But again, your physiological background, exertion, fitness, training, etc. all affect how long you can stay there.
