  1. I was more asking about the possibility of a line wrapping or getting caught in an unused rubber band on the dbag, but I see what you're saying and have read some of the threads on that topic.

  2. Thank you both for the responses. I have plenty of spare bands and keep a a good eye on them, they're cheap enough that it's not a problem replacing them when they get worn. Appreciate the info on the spare band too!

  3. When I stow lines I find sometimes it takes 3 line stows and sometimes 4 to get the proper length of excess to the top of the risers. The variation comes from making slightly different sized bites from pack job to pack job I'm sure.

    When I end up using only three I've been removing the spare rubber band to prevent any possible issues, but it seems during a normal deployment with 4 stows used, after the first one comes unstowed that it would be in the same situation.

    I'm sorry if this is a little confusing, basically, my question is, does an unused line stow rubber band pose a legitimate chance of causing a mal or am I just being overly careful?

    Thanks!

    I understand I could have pulled high... I am a low time jumper compared to the others that were on that airplane... What I don't get is if someone was TRYING TO TRICK ME how its my fault for getting tricked? Why did the tandem pull at 10k? or where ever he did? Because he was TRYING to hose me... The intent is all over the video... Why don't you post some pictures of Mickey sticking his tounge out? After I got down he kept on snickering at me asking why I don't get back on the airplane...

    if I took a jumper with 25 jumps to make a skydive with me and I could trick him into jumping over the ocean and he went in would it be okay?



    Well one thing is for sure with people like you in the forum one thing is for sure. They would get away with it! ;)



    I am a jumper with 25 jumps and we're taught from day one to check your spot. One jump the spot was further than usual and we pulled a bit high and enjoyed the ride. Your jump is your responsibility, no excuses.
