cpoxon 0 #8 February 13, 2003 I've recorded the stream and uploaded it to ftp://ftp.skydivingmovies.com/UPLOADS/19434.asf (will eventually move - do we think destined for the /From TV/ or /Tandem/ directory?) Wow, looks COLD! Also looks a bit uncomfortable with the second passenger attached to the Tandem Instructor. When Geoff, Wendy and Sian did it, wasn't the second passenger clipped to the first who was in turn clipped to the TI? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 558 #9 February 13, 2003 I still want the special harness that will allow me to take two Japanese girls at the same time. With them strapped side-by-side, the most amusing part of the dive would be listening to them yammering at each other right after opening. Ha! Ha!

billbooth 10 #11 February 13, 2003 The military routinely takes 650 to 950 lb. loads out of C-130's on Tandem Vectors. For you Mormon tandem masters out there, this means that you could take 5 or 6, 100 lb. female passengers (all the wives) at once, if you really wanted to. (With my luck, they'd all have PMS at the same time, so the ride down would be hell.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DYEVOUT 0 #14 February 13, 2003 You'd want to fit 3-rings to their harnesses, so if it got too bad - you could "thin out" the crowd selectively. =:^) ----------------=8^)---------------------- "I think that was the wrong tennis court." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
