A phone my ex wife worked on.

kinda funny how that was a reserve at the end, like a cypress fire

Probably to busy playing with his phone still

yup, people in the sport will be the only ones to understand that though haha

And your answer should be yes.

I thought the ad was pretty funny.

And all of the whuffos will soon be asking me if I can do that with my phone while skydiving

Speak of the devil...

This year we had a student go through the FJC who thought he was going to take his phone with him on his first jump, presumably to take pictures or something (I'm guessing under canopy).

The AFF I caught wind of this, and of course put a stop to it. What does this genius do? He routes a lenght of clear fishing line through the lanyard attachment on the phone, and loops the end of it around his thumb. Then he slips the phone up the sleeve of his jumpsuit, past the elastic cuff, in an effort to smuggle it on the jump anyway.

Of course his instructor also caught on to that plan, and again put a stop to it, but it's proof positive that students can and will do anything under the sun, no matter how stupid it may be.

I thought it was pretty funny. and fwiw. back in the day. i have jumped with a handheld 110 instamatic old school camera one of the manual wind kind flew up to a guy took a couple of snaps passed the camera like a baton pass. got a camera geek in and got the camera back in ff so it's not impossible it could be done

Drew Cochis used to take photos with a hand held SLR all the time. He never looked through the view finder, kept the camera by way of a lanyard on is left wrist, and snapped away. He has whole photo albums full of these photos. And I don't mean a disposable camera. I mean a real, hard body SLR.

"Is it ok if I date Emily while your....never mind." Classic skydiver. Love it!!

Sorry for the newbie question but how can you tell it's a reserve?

Most reserve canopies are one solid color. Most main canopies are not. Given the nature of the commercial they probably used a reserve to show the guy was totally unaware of altitude, due to his phone, and saved by an AAD. Just my guess.
