FlyingRhenquest 1 #26 July 23, 2014 Don't mind Mike, he just had some sand in his vagina. It was probably caused by the opening force of his parachute.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tristansdad 0 #27 July 23, 2014 Don't know about opening shock, but I just recently had my second cutaway. I was in a flat spin under about seven line twists. The next day I noticed I still had indentations in the skin of my left shoulder from my harness. Just something to think about in case you need to save your own life.

CorvusCrypto 0 #28 July 27, 2014 I am definitely not knowledgeable enough in the sport for you to go off what I experience, but when I have an opening after belly-to-earth freefall, I notice that I feel only a small amount of pressure on my shoulders just as the main is being extracted. After that I am usually at a slight angle for the remainder of the opening and I feel most of the opening shock against my legs/hips. Perhaps I'm just not noticing the force, but either way I personally wouldn't want to risk even more time out of the game or inability to deal with a mal or even basic canopy maneuvers if it broke."I would rather be ashes than dust.
