California- The Federal Aviation Administration says it will look into a videotaped skydiving sex stunt to determine if the pilot might have been distracted during the incident over Kern County.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor says any activity that could distract the pilot while he’s flying could be a violation of federal regulations.
Skydive Taft owner David Chrouch says he fired part-time skydiving instructor and porn star Alex Torres [aka Voodoo] and hasn’t decided whether to fire the company’s receptionist, Hope Howell, who he said was Torres’ partner in the video.
The video shows the two having sex in a plane before jumping out in tandem and continuing the act midair.
NBC station KGET-TV in Bakersfield reported that Chrouch said that Torres put the stunt together in an attempt to get the attention of Howard Stern.
“Apparently they told my pilot it was OK to do this. And got here early in the morning before anyone got here and shot this,” Chrouch told KGET.
Authorities say Torres had posted the video on his blog but removed it on Monday. Chrouch said he found out about the stunt when a Taft police officer told him that the video was making the rounds at a local school.
Taft police Lt. Ed Whiting told KGET-TV that no criminal charges are pending.
At one point in the video the couple is shown seated in a jump seat right next to the pilot.
“No I wasn’t concerned,” Chrouch told KGET. “He was in complete control of the plane at all times. I mean he looked back a couple of times. The same thing he does if there are other skydivers in the plane. He is going to look back, he’s going to look around to see what everyone is doing.”
from www.gawker.com – Alex Torres (born: Alexandre Boisvert; aliases: VooDoo Child, Voodoo, Voo Doo, Lex) is a French Canadian skydiver and porn actor currently living in California, who wanted to get the attention of Howard Stern.
So he shot a video, set to Katy Perry’s “E.T.”, of him having sex with Hope Howell, a receptionist at Skydive Taft School in Bakersfield, where he works. But they weren’t just having sex. They were having sex in the plane. They were having sex as they jumped out together. And they were still having sex as they hurtled towards the ground. (I’m sure you think you know where this is going, but the two landed safely and without incident, and at no point did Howell reach behind her to pull the ripcord and accidentally tear Voodoo’s dick off.)
Torres then posted the video to his website, and it started to make the rounds at a local high school. That’s when the authorities got involved. No one actually saw them, so they can’t be nabbed on public indecency charges, but having sex on a plane could be a violation of federal regulations — particularly as it occurred in this tape, seated in a jump seat right next to the pilot. The Federal Aviation Administration is currently reviewing the tape to see if the pilot was distracted.
Meanwhile — sex while skydiving. Hot? Too risky? Our lines our open.
