virgin-burner 1 #26 December 14, 2011 Quote Quote My lowest pull ever, and I hope it never happens again, was getting in the saddle under my main at 700 feet. I've gotten into the saddle with just enough time to turn to my downwind leg once or twice. Damn meatbomb under canopy! FIFY “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Bodhisattva420 0 #28 December 14, 2011 Lol, I didn't actually pull low, I just tried to dock on this guy at five grand on a tracking dive when we were suppose to be breaking off. I realized he didn't want to play anymore and was trying to track away when I saw the look of terror on his face. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #37 December 14, 2011 QuoteLol, I didn't actually pull low... Then why did you start a thread with a title and story about pulling low? 5,000' is not "low". You have to be under 2,000' to be low. That's the official definition. Back in the old days when all students did static lines at 2,000', they were conditioned to think of that as the bottom end of a skydive, in tune with the BSR about minimum opening altitude. But nowadays, with students pulling at 5,500', they start out thinking that anything under 5,500' is "low", and even later once off student status, many are still terrified of exiting the plane lower than that.

An ole buddy & I did some accuracy at a small DZ this summer, we'd exit at about 2 and pull...the aircraft continued on up. The n00bs were a bit wary...even when I showed 'em I'm open 150' below the plane. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougH 270 #49 December 14, 2011 Quote Low gets re-defined if you ever exit under 2k. This summer I had a friends tandem student take his goggles off his upper connection and leave them back on the ground. We didn't catch it before we left terra firma. I have contacts but elected to give the student my goggles and do a hop and pop. The pilot didn't exactly keep up the altitude on the way back over the top, 2400, 2300, 2200, 2100, 2000, 1900.... UMMMM DOOOR???!!? I have been out pretty darn low before then, but that was pre fully eliptical smaller canopies!
