The bad guys didn't whack their poles before dropping in. Dangerous.

My favorite of the actors who portrayed Bond.

Shane McConkey reenacted it. They had to get the bindings that released upward instead of down ward - Tyrolia 480 bindings. They hooked up a "string" to pull up on the bindings to release them. I believe he ended up dying later because of a jump that the bindings didn't release.
What a bummer. He was actually more James Bond to me than Sean Connery simply due to when I was born.
I was just starting to search out this clip but then I found this post. This is my favorite movie memory of Roger Moore and my dad. We used to watch it every time it came on.His finest performance was, perhaps, in the Oscar nominated classic, The Cannonball Run.
