Striking force of cross-braced canopies

Recommended Posts

So, I was at Skydive Carolina yesterday and got to see a swoop video of some guy hitting the 'Rodriguez Brother' windblade with the edge of his canopy. In slow mo that canopy didn't flex one bit and it snapped the pole on two. Granted he hit it up towards the top third where it's thinner, but if anyone was wondering what would happen if they got hit by one- now you know.
