"Make sure your legstraps are snug, because you can always cutaway a line-over, but you can't cutaway a nut-under."

A HIGHLY experienced instructor told me that if he every had a skydiver at his DZ burn in and he walked up to their body and they had not pulled ALL of their handles that he would piss on their dead body and walk away.

At first I thought this was bizarrely harsh coming from such a mild mannered guy but the more I thought about it the more I understood what he was saying.

"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things." CP

make sure your chest strap is completely threaded and secured...if you don't have it under the last piece of metal, you're dead...your rig will come off you on opening.
