ETA: I'm a chick, I have no nuts but understand the importance of not having a nut under. That happened to me on one of my first jumps.That was the longest canopy ride I ever had.Same here. Happened once - NEVER again. Pain teaches.... OK seriously, a distressing number of guys seem to have experienced this malfunction first hand! Were you being careful before?

ryoder 1,384 #27 October 5, 2013 FlyingRhenquest OK seriously, a distressing number of guys seem to have experienced this malfunction first hand! Were you being careful before? As was previously mentioned, the old "solid saddle" design was the problem in my case. Think of the playground swingsets with a soft, flexible seat; Now add a strap across each leg so you don't slip forward off the saddle. When gearing up, you needed to: 1. Bend over at the waist until your spine was horizontal. 2. Pull the saddle down past your butt. 3. Tighten leg straps. The *saddle* was what supported your weight, not the legstraps! If you didn't do that properly, your butt would slip off the saddle during opening, leaving you hanging by your crotch on the legstraps. And those straps were both attached near the center of the saddle!"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Here's a dumb question from a chick: Is it the skin that pinches causing the pain or it is the testicle smoosh that is the screamer? I think it's the smoosh but for all I know it's just the skin pinch.Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrewEckhardt 0 #42 October 6, 2013 promise5Yup I asked and if I get crap for asking oh well. But seriously aren't you worried about your junk ?? I understand as a guy most of you feel the need to constantly adjust yourself but it seems more so when you have a harness or your rig on. Is it really a problem?? If your legstraps are tight it's not a problem. Skydiving naked (been there, done that both horizontal and vertical) it's still not a problem although the sight of one's junk head-down might offend puritanical observers. Just don't botch the landing and get roadrash someplace exceptionally uncomfortable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
