can i skydive with a base canopy?

Recommended Posts

I wouldn't take a BASE canopy to terminal, might blow up and kill you. One time, i went terminal and i had to land my canopy without a centre cell as it blew off. Luckily i was ninja and PLF'd like a champ.

People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

Hmm. I think I would avoid a BASE canopy that was not recommended for terminal openings. It would surely suck to have a much longer than planned delay (say, from the NRGB) and discover yourself near terminal as you were deploying.

I know a guy who did that.

Decades later, he was still bothered by pain from an improperly healed neck fracture.
AND he ruined his canopy.
