Yes, and it takes a long time to get down under canopy from oxygen altitudes. Was Kate jumping, or organizing (iow, was it only Russian nationals on the jump).... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NAR 0 #6 September 27, 2008 Kate could not jump the Russian National Record as she is not a russian citizen. She was invited as X-team participant (she had a chance to jump from Mi-26 together with alfa team). Only Russians took part in 135 way. The record 135 way formation was built on the 4th attamp. We had very experienced participants, who could have built far more than 135, but we were very unlucky with the weather, jumped in the holes in the clouds. We planned to built 160 way, but the weather did not permit, made just one attemp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
