skr 1 #156 July 24, 2003 about 3800 jumps : not sure how many reserves once in the 60's i was experimenting with how to stack two spring loaded pilot chutes and gave myself a total in 1975 i had a real malfunction but the chute was experimental so that was also kind of self induced in 2000 or so i had a malfunction on a wingsuit but there was a long story leading up to it so i'm not sure that counts either not long after that i opened in a hard turn. in hindsight i think i pulled one of the toggles loose grabbing risers on opening, but i couldn't figure it out at the time and so cutaway also when piggy backs came out i did about 20 jumps just cutting away and jumping intentional streamers and stuff the one time i did have a real malfunction which, in hindsight, i should have cutaway, i didn't, and, after a long story landed in a serious turn doing about 60-80 mph downward, but i layed out flat and eventually walked away from it so all in all i'm not sure skr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjosparky 3 #158 July 24, 2003 2300+ jumps, reserve rides 100+. Only 10 were because I need it. The rest were test jumps where I planed to use the reserve. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be interesting to see what the average of this is. 19:19 -Kramer 17:49 6:2,200 logged Lost handle Line knot Broken lines Lineover Unidentified spin (probably lost toggle) Line over Blue skies, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjonak 0 #162 July 24, 2003 3114:0 It's a soft machine. It works like a machine. Put it in the way it's supposed to be put in and it'll come out like it's supposed to.
