autoset 0 #1 May 16, 2007 If I remember correctly some company started producing these rigs somewhere in 2002 I think, I was very young at the time I don't even know if it was a dream or I actually saw it on TV. Anyone have any info about that rig system? What company produced them? Are they still on the market? A pic of one of those would be interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calvin19 0 #4 May 16, 2007 they pretty much made a retard-proof harness and a moron-proof way to do a static line/dbag, and used a paraglider rogollo style singe surface fast opening parachute. a cool idea, a lot of idiot bought them. i dont think it ever was, or ever will be used for a real escape.

Calvin19 0 #6 May 16, 2007 i think they cost a lot, i didnt check. the rogollo style reserve has decenr heading performance, and amaziing accuracy in zero wind. but forward speed is nothing. i read that the glide was 2/1. but i dont buy it. there are a lot of discusions about them in PG forums. ill look them up. you can buy one brand new for about 1000 US.

VincentVL. 0 #7 May 16, 2007 So if this actually exists, then why should you worry about taking your rig up a building? Just tell security "WE'RE using it to escape from THE TERRORISTS if THERE IS A BOMB" and they should understand. Also point it at them so they can see the ribbons. Myes...

GreenMachine 0 #8 May 16, 2007 I have mixed feelings about this... As an economist I like the idea of selling these rich guys gear. However, I doubt they will ever be used, and if actually used during a real emergency the user fairing better than staying put. Imagine someone with zero jumps of any kind properly donning the rig, executing a decent exit, deploying, and flying the wing safely to the ground in the midst of an attack with plenty of emergency vehicles on the ground. FYI: My assumptions of middle age & wealthy comes from the usual amount of time and lenght of resume to get a window office with enough altitude to jump from in a high profile building.
