heavydude 0 #1 April 18, 2010 I know this is probably a Basejumper.com issue but there are probably more gear people here: Base rigs obviously are not FAA rated gear w/ max weight/deployment speed ratings . So the way I see it anybody could make a Base container, no FAA regs involved in jumping it since no aircraft are involved ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
likestojump 3 #2 April 18, 2010 correct. certain BASE gear (Perigee Pro / Gargoyle from US makers) has been drop tested for the German standards, but that has nothing to do with US. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonstark 8 #3 April 18, 2010 Right on. We don't care if you jump with bedsheets and kite string. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrbiceps 0 #5 April 20, 2010 Yeah mate anyone can make a base container and jump off a building with it strapped to their back. If you find out that u fucked it up you dont really have much time to fix it though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
