DBCOOPER 1 #1 August 24, 2004 Don't you hate adds with out the important info,like if it might fit you.Nothing worse than a bunch of wasted emails when the info should be in the ad in the first place.Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

adamjenner 0 #2 August 24, 2004 yeah i do agree too. I mean i'm not looking to buy gear anytime soon but i still think it would be nice if they put in all the sizes just so you'd know. should be a "required" thing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #3 August 25, 2004 What fields should be required? Size harness? Size container? Size canopy? Size jumpsuit? Thats about all I can think of. Best thing to do is get the serial # and ask the manufactor if they think your measurements would work on a container.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevJim 0 #4 August 25, 2004 I hate the "Standardized measurements". You know, like "Fit's Average build male, 5'10" to 6'. I am 6'1" and it was a little snug." Bah! How about some real TORSO measurements? I'm 5'11" to 6' depending on my posture, but anyone that has seen me knows that's mostly legs. If my legs matched my proportions, I'd be 5'6" or 5'7". Does that mean if I sell my rig and say "I'm 6' 185# and it fits me great, that the next 6 footer is gonna be happy? Most likely not. [/rant]It's your life, live it!

At least that gives you an idea.Harness size is a must know to even consider a container. This is from the first complete system ad listed at the time i'm writing this: Quote"135 Stiletto 100 jumps, like new. Raven I, Zero jumps. Cypress, 5 years old, needs 4 year inspection. Vector V2-2, over 10 years old. All in very good condition. Now how could you even consider this with the info provided.Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

mr2mk1g 10 #6 August 25, 2004 Why body sizes? Don't all rigs have their actual harnes size written on them? Why the hell can't the seller just look at the data panel and write down what it says there!? Is it really that hard. Buyers can then simply go straight to the manufacturers website and see the exact fitment if they don't already know what they're looking for. Simple and quick for all.
