[ForTiffany 0]

I have 99 jumps and my rig was ruined in a flood. I bought it used and need to supply the insurance company with a replacement invoice. Who handles complete rigs that i could reach out to or do i have to get one for the harness, main, reserve, pilot chutes, aad, etc. Thanks!

Contact Chuting Star, Gravity Gear, Sunshine Factory, Square 1 or any of the major gear dealers and I'm sure they will help you out. Google is your friend.

Are you sure it was 100% destroyed? Harness/ containers are really tough, was it cut, punctured or frayed? Water itself won't cause any damage. Maybe you can save something and build another rig (maybe a back up rig). A rigger may help you evaluate.

It isn't the water that does the damage. It's what's IN the water.

Usually sewage, but it can be (and often is) anything and everything.

In college my rig was exposed to smoke and water damage because of a fire, all the insurance required was a letter from a rigger stating it was damaged and the replacement cost.
