Quick Survey

[docjohn 0]

1. 3600+
2. 2
3. 1 partial (broken suspension lines), 1 total (pilot chute in tow)

I would assume that cutaways associated with crw wraps don't count, got 2 of those

I just want to take the time to thank each and every one of you for your responses.
Please keep the info coming if possible. The larger the sample the better.


Much thanks! & Blue Skies!

P.S. I will post my results when the project is complete.

It's the day after Thanksgiving. I'm actually at work. Been here 1/2 hour and bored out of my skull. Totals so far are the following as of mrwrong's post #53.

1. 95728 jumps
2. 163 malfunctions (didn't count intentionals)
3. 1:587 ratio for 46 jumpers including my contribution of 63.

College Statistics flashback.... It's important to note that although these are real numbers, it may not be truly representative of the skydiving community because it's not a truly random sample. Average number of jumps is 2081 so it shows there's a tendency for those with higher jump numbers to answer. Only 5 are sub-100 jump wonders.

Absolutely, I definitely will be sure to include that.Thanks for the tip Andy

Improperly handled line twists on jump #70. Borrowed gear with riser connectors, 3 full twists, released brakes before kicking out of twists, made a mess of the steering lines, seemed marginally controllable but was not comfortable with it because of jump #'s. No AAD, no RSL. Thought I'd get a good chewing out (did get just a little) but mostly was congratulated for maintaining cool and saving myself.

3. Total at 150 jumps (Unfamaliar with the gear) Packing error (step through) at 250 jumps. Blew up main at 1400 jumps (line dump/bag strip) and lineover on tandem at 2400 jumps. 3 cutaways.

2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.

1...two floaters on my Struggle Struggle Thump Racer with a pullout. 1 lineover that seemed relatively slow and easy to chop.

3 cutaways in 156 jumps?
You may want to fire your packer. If you pack your own, some lessons might be in order

Spinning line twists (both)

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

1. 2100
2. 6 cutaways, 4 totals
3. Cutaways were spinners of various kinds. Nearly all steering-line related. I don't remember some of the early ones (they were 25+ years ago). 2 totals were gear-experimenting related, 1 was a rig geometry thing (couldn't pull the pud) and 1 was a plain old jammed pilot chute.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

[lintern 1]

1. 630
2. 2
3. 1 was a lineover and 1 was a brakefire

[skydived19006 4]

1. 3300
2. 2
3. one line twist spinner. One tandem (over 2000 tandems total) multiple broken suspension lines.

Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else.

3. line over- brake line pinched the side of my canopy, didnt go all the way over the nose. pitched at 2.8, was spinning pretty well, chop @ 1900. didnt figure out what the mal was til i reviewed the footage.

edit: also landed a step through on a 190

So there I was...
