Yes/no? JerryBaumchen Looks to me like she has an oversized canopy packed into that rig and needed to lengthen the closing loop. Not all that unusual for Bridge Day style jumps where a lot of amatuers or first time base jumpers would just use their regular rig to put a big canopy in. I've never done a base jump so what do I know. But I have done CRW with a Lightning 126 jammed into a rig sized for a Triathlon 120, and it was UGLY!"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtnesbitt 0 #21 December 17, 2009 It looks to me like a canopy freepacked into a skydiving container. If you look at the bottom flap you can tell something (closing loop) is keeping tension in the middle."If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,426 #22 December 18, 2009 > but her container looks like the pin is already pulled, and she still has > the PC in her hand. The pin is still in there. There's a big freepacked 7 cell in the main container. We opened the main pin cover just before exit, and the closing loop is a little long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
