Note - for statistical purposes, you might want to limit your included sets to modern ram air rigs. For that matter, you might also want to exclude induced or exceptional cases - e.g. - canopies on fire, etc.

My favorite skydiving "stunt". One of those TV stunt shows. Jumper (Jeb Corliss ?) has a third canopy soaked in kerosene. Direct bagged out of the aircraft. He is flying the soaked canopy, pulls out a flare gun. Shoots his own canopy. It looked like the Hindenberg! Then he cuts it away and lands on his main.

"direct bagged" out of a 5 gallon plastic pail....
Really....

not jeb...

i think it was troy hartman... and Yes.. the canopy material disintegrated as the ribs, and binding tape, and suspension lines hung in there.... until it's aerodynamicity !!!! ( there's a good word for ya' ) deteriorated to the point that it all collapsed and started falling out of the sky...

pretty cool, as i remember seeing it... On Stunt Junkies???? maybe....??

[crotalus01 0]

1. 142
2. 4 malfunctions, 2 cutaways
3. First was jump #52, linetwists I could not kick out.
Second was a stepthrough that passed a controlabilty check so I landed it (my fault, I packed in a hurry to make the load).
Third was 9 broken lines on deployment that put me on my back in a violent spin, and fourth was my reserve on that same jump which had multiple linetwists that I finally got kicked out at about 300 feet.

As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...
