DanG 1 #4 July 1, 2009 [cranky] Or the approximately 7 million other threads asking the exact same question. At the risk of being squashed like a bug, is there something about weighing more than 250# that makes it impossible to use the Search function? This question keeps getting asked, and the responses are always the same. [/cranky] - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para5-0 0 #5 July 1, 2009 The question isnt if it can be done, the question is does someone have gear available. I have another thread for the student under Big Boy Rig... I am looking for one, and apparently the student posted as well. sorry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GLIDEANGLE 1 #7 July 1, 2009 Direct quote from uninsured United Parachute Technologies, LLC. web site: You should know that for years, United Parachute Technologies has built custom rigs for the "big guys" by utilizing technology originally developed for the military. So when your student graduates off student status, he will have a source for his own gear. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or write. http://www.unitedparachutetechnologies.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!
