"What are "the peas"? "
Pea gravel, the American term for the wee pebbles that are used to fill what you may know as the 'pit'. They are really only soft in this country if they have been recently dug over, otherwise they are like concrete...
In your case I would probably recommend hitting a huge mud puddle that may or may not be in the tank training ground next door .

QuoteNow if it's a bag lock, I'm saying my rigger's new car.
Huh ...
I have heard a story from my first instructor and rigger about the guy surviving a bag lock on BASE jump in Canada. Apparently 3 ft of snow saved him. When people on the top of the exit point saw what happened got down to get his body, they found him talking with his wife on cell phone ...

Steerable enough to choose the landing zone but at too high a decent rate to survive the usual landing zone....Water for certain.. if it's deep enough. I've watched people pound into water at high rates of decent.
A bag lock is not survivable but a line over or busted lines would be.

instead of aiming for objects to hit, i would probably be trying to control the canopy to get it stable and landable

Are you literaly talking about a field of peas? If so, why peas and not another crop? (I've seen it in several places, so I'm assuming its not just a crop that happens to be grown at one dz).
What about on a sheep? They have a bit of soft padding :)
