Re: [jclalor] Have hooded sweatshirts ever caused a malfunction or incident?
In reply to:
I had a bad experience jumping with a hoodie, the kind with the joined front pockets. after exiting solo and going on to my back, I noticed something small falling with me in my burble, for a split second I couldn't figure out what it was, it was then that I realized it was the key to my car had fallen out of hoodie pocket. When I instinctivlely reached for it causing me to roll a bit, the wind then hit it and it was gone. I was then educated on the cost of a replacement key for a Honda ($175)
There's a REASON why the airlines tell ya to remove keys, pens...anything hard & pointy from your pockets during a crash!
Hard landings cause both impacts in places not expected and twisting & bending in ways sharp objects may cause some harm.
I always empty my pockets before jumping, it would really suck having to use a Swiss army knife to start my car!
...as in cuttin' the keys outta my spleen!
