RemiAndKaren 0 #4 January 10, 2002 nope.... when I copied and pasted, the way my pc is set up, it opens a explorer window and loads up quicktime as the player, which doesnt have the right codecs.If I right click and save as on the link instead, I can play it with whatever I want (real player in this case has the right codecs on my pc)RemiMuff 914 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #5 January 10, 2002 That's a bit worrying - if that was my rig that'd put me off jumping completely !!! All of a sudden that lineover seems a very good option.....

I'm not saying that its normal for the damm thing to stay in, but as soon as the rig touched the ground and made the angle the briddle was pulling change, the bag came out.RemiMuff 914 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Kelly 0 #8 January 10, 2002 hmmm. scary stuff. I hope they were trying to prove a theory right or something. where was this footage shot? who are the riggers? I think i might know one of them and considering all the stories he's told me, I'd be surprised if it was him and he didnt mention THIS to me..http://www.geocities.com/flynfroggie/skydiving_friends.html Updated!!

He should put some more wait on the container. Whats it weigh, 30 pounds, i bet if he put 130 pounds of weight on the rig the reserve would have come out with a good tug. who knows. once again, i AM NOT a rigger.-Jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites flow 1 #16 January 12, 2002 Wow, never even realized something like this could be possible.I guess I'll be watching next time my reserve is being packed. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
