wildblue 4 #1 September 5, 2001 Kids,Do you and your friends like to freefly? Sitfly? Sure, we all enjoy it from time to time. But please, make sure your gear is in good shape, this includes making sure your BOC is tight so this doesn't happen to you(show video)This public service announcement has been brought to you by dropzone.com, wildbluesky.com, and the Center for Safe Freeflying.No skydivers were injured in the making of this videoThen, I saw these two guys swoopin across the pond, and I was like 'weeeeeee!!!!'

PhreeZone 15 #2 September 5, 2001 And that is what happens when you freefly in a Dolphin for too long.....And that jumper showed back up in 2 days to jump again....Do I HAVE to do another raft dive??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites cyberskydive 0 #3 September 5, 2001 wow- LOL- short linestows how high was that?exactly why I'm thikning of going to pull out!C-28534http://www.sunraydesigns.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PhreeZone 15 #4 September 5, 2001 I'm thinking they were talking like that happened at 9000 feet. Wildblue said a few choice works once his canopy opened that the video caught. I seem to remember it was like " What the %*#$ was that? Holy #$%#$% #@$^* that had to $#@&, F#*% Hurt." That continued for a few more lines... altogether it was funny to listen to him. It looked like the normal 2-3 inch line stows that are recommened for packing to me.... I might be wrong.Do I HAVE to do another raft dive???

Yeah, it was 9000 or maybe a little higher. Right after it happened I just kinda stayed on my back looking up at him hoping he was ok. Funny thing was, I had been teasing him about his Dolphin right before we went on the jump. ....and then I saw his foot and knew I had to make him mine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites cyberskydive 0 #6 September 5, 2001 QuoteFunny thing was, I had been teasing him about his Dolphin right before we went on the jump.least we know now that we arent the only ones making comments on the flippers eh freaksis? lmfao C-28534http://www.sunraydesigns.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PhreeZone 15 #7 September 5, 2001 Even funnier is that he was offered the Cobalt to jump to see if he liked it.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites drosenberg 0 #15 September 9, 2001 The malfunction had nothing to do with its being a Dolphin, but rather with an un-maintained BOC pouch, or the pilot chute was not packed right. The Dolphin problems are with exposed risers, which had nothing to do with this malfunction.By the way I’m a proud Dolphin owner.David See my photos and video Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PhreeZone 15 #16 September 9, 2001 I know for a fact that the BOC on that rig is almost new so thats probally ruled out. The Pilot chue..... cant be sure of that but I know he's had problems with the main flap poping open and the dolphin's riser covers opening in freefall before.I jumped a Dolphin for a while but decided to go with something different based on the overall feel of the rig. Dolphins are great for starters but at my DZ I know of the mals caused by the riser covers opeing in freefall. Two of the mals happened to the same lady. She had to chop both of the due to the toglle poping out with the riser and spinning up the canopy pretty good.Flying on your belly is great..... if thats all you can do! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites drosenberg 0 #17 September 9, 2001 The thing is that as you clearly see in the video he did not have a horseshoe malfunction, which would be the case if the bridle or bag left the container while the pilot chute was still in the pouch.In this case it seems the pilot chute got out and pulled the bag out, thus it has nothing to do with the riser covers or flap.I have no idea how a pilot chute will come out of a perfectly good pouch if it was packed properly but it has nothing to do with the Dolphin.Anyway I hope you and your friends continue having fun jumps, it looked really fun until that pilot chute came out.DavidSee my photos and video Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites wildblue 4 #18 September 10, 2001 actually, I think we did figure it was his BOC that caused the problem.As far as the risers coming open, I have seen a few people replace the velcro with snaps. Seems to work pretty good.Then, I saw these two guys swoopin across the pond, and I was like 'weeeeeee!!!!'
