JaapSuter 0 #26 July 29, 2005 QuoteA figure in feet or meters? QuoteAgain I would construct a 9' carry on S/L that attaches to the railing so that the briddle and PC don't get damaged by the edge of the B. I don't see how you can get the breakcord to do its job before the bridle would come into contact with the edge of the building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicknitro71 0 #27 July 29, 2005 QuoteI don't see how you can get the breakcord to do its job before the bridle would come into contact with the edge of the building. That's why you want to make the S/L a bit longer than the distance from the railing. See the pic.Memento Audere Semper 903 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
87SupraT 0 #28 July 30, 2005 I am in no position to suggest B.A.S.E. advice as I have no experience, but I thought I would share my $.02. Tell me if it is dumb or plausible. You can get one of those 10-15 foot retractable dog leashes. It seems you don't want a sudden jerk on the pins when the canopy is pulled out. Well you could jog off the edge with the leash cause it will always maintain tensionanywhere you walk within its range. Then the Break Cord can be attached to the end of it and around your bridle. It will help sustain the shock to your pins and help get better separation without hitting the cord on the edge of building. Check out the picture. Let me know what you think.

gazzoom 0 #29 July 30, 2005 Hi Jap, We had the exact same scenario last night on my first B also a 220 sl jump. i had ground crewed on a few B jumps prior i had seen the bridle extension used in the past and this functions well. Last night on an underconstruction B, attachment point for sl was to five feet back from the edge, then the edge of the building was quite sharp, we basically larks headed some long climbing sling to the bridle end at the PC attachment point and then attached the sl to the anchor point on the b. This allowed the pc to hang over the side. and removed the bridle issues you mentioned, if you can visualize what i mean? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BASE 1029 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACMESkydiver 0 #31 August 2, 2005 Dumb question, but I can't help it. -How do you get the static line back if you're jumping by yourself? It's probably a stupid question but I can't figure it out and of course I've never seen one of these things.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Please reconsidder using your toogles vs risers at low objects a riser turn will move you away from the object fast but it also eat alot of altitude compared to a toogle turn. you can pop your brakes whith out getting a surge,also a thing you should learn before playing in the low area.. how high is the building below you? do you need a running exit? if so did you considder to freefall it?
