Casch 0 #1 January 6, 2003 Does anyone else grunt when the canopy opens? I find myself letting out a decent sounding OOHHAAARGGGHH....no pain or anything just a loud grunt from stopping so suddenly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerry81 10 #3 January 6, 2003 I wouldn't know about grunting (maybe just the couple of times when I got really spanked), but I have been known to express my joy of life quite loudly after a nice fall and a soft opening. Whooohooooo and all that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #4 January 6, 2003 If I've had a hard opening, I most definitely yell something . I also look up at the canopy and start asking it why it spanked me.

Tumble 0 #7 January 6, 2003 Yeah I used to do that back when I had a hard opening on my sabre, (quite common) bought an Alpha and the problem magically disappeared. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #8 January 6, 2003 Same here. Ever since I ditched my Sabre for a Stiletto my openings have done nothing but bring a smile to my face. I used to just cringe right before I threw the PC when I had my Sabre. You just knew it was coming and there was nothing you could do. Kris (What is this "hard opening" that you speak of?

neiliss 0 #15 January 6, 2003 I had my first really hard opening a week ago. I remember swearing alot very loudly and then chasing down my mate who is my packer while still under canopy as he was on the same load and jump as me. I think he was surprised as I was by my enthusiasm under canopy, until we both landed and I said to him, "Man that canopy opened hard". Then he realised why I was chasing him down.
