lending your rig to a friend

[moth 0]

what about when you lend a friend your rig and he/she has a mal and loses your main whoo pay for the lost main and repack?

[Elisha 1]

The friend - they took the risk. They could've repacked it if they didn't trust the pack job.

You break it, you buy it. The borrower is responsible.

If you loan your rig to a friend, they will replace what they lose or fix what they break. If you loan your rig to a "friend" they will agrue the situation, point fingers, and in general give you a hard time.

[mr2mk1g 10]

Standard agreement between friends on borrowing anything round here is "you break it you buy it".

ie - if you break it, loose it, trash it, get it nicked, damage it or whatever - you pay for it to be replaced or repaired.

It's so commonplace it goes without saying - everyone just expects those are the rules. That's certainly how it works round here anyway.

Well, if your friend still wants to be friends, they shuld pay. You have to work it out with them.

Sorry for what sounds like a real bummer...

Absolutely the friend...

... and they should be quick about it too

that good then im due a reserve repack so i will pack a lineover and lend my rig to my friend. hey presto free repack
i know it sounds a bit harsh but £35.00 is a lot of money (2 jumps)

Brilliant!!! Though a line over could damage the canopy.

Pack it with line twists and one toggle unstowed. That should do nicely.

My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

[moth 0]

good point but what if they kick out the twists? (too bad to think about) no this calls for a total. I will disconect the pc from the bridal, and then there is no chance of losing the main also they will have to buy me a new pc (mine is getting old as it is) WHAT A PLAN!!!

If I borrow a rig from a friend, I assume the same responsibility as if it were my rig. As mentioned above, If I jump their pack job I assume the risk as if I had packed it myself.

- If you borrow something, return it in as good or better shape than it was.

First time I borrowed a rig to demo it, the first thing I did was repack it. Then at least I would know that it was my own damn fault if something went wrong.

unless he bounces...then you might not get anything usable back. (nevermind when he comes back from the grave to return the favor)

Did you think something was wrong or did you do it on principal? I wouldn't have probably bothered. Just spot for the freebag.

I'll give you 3 tries to pack a line over and if you can I'll pay for the repack.

Hey moth,
next time you are making a joke, you should announce it as a joke, instead of provoking serious, thoughtful responces, then undermining them by making a joke of your serious question.

It was two things. I wanted the issue to be clear if I had a mal (out of principle as you say). The other reason was more pragmatic. I wanted to know what kind of openings I would get out of this canopy, not what someone else might get.

In fact this whole issue makes me hesitant to lend my rig to people. I have never been asked, but it would probably depend a lot on the person asking.

If you're ever jumping demos from the PD tour, don't sweat the pack job. I also borrow rigs from riggers. I don't worry too much about those. But really, with over 13 reserve rides, I really don't mind anyone's packjob. But yes, looking in the forest for all your crap sucks.

[peregrinerose 0]

I've been the one borrowing rigs as I demoed a few canopies while deciding on what to buy. The plan was definitely 'you damage it, it's yours'.

Definately the borrowers responsibility, if you hurt a main, lose a handle (even their pud handle) you replace it. As soon as you can.

If they intentionally give you a mal CHARGE THEM WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER!!!

I'll see your 3 and raise you double.

No one knows how to pack a line over. It's a sucker bet.

So how exactly would one go about packing this particular mal?
