  1. All videos i have seen where reserve was spinning, canopy was optimum. It is dangerous because body position is often bad when opening reserve.
    Then line twists locks another riser higher and that cause spinning.

  2. Imagine case that jump plane engine fails shortly after takeoff and you are not able to get back to runway. You will land to forest or settlement.

    What is minium altitude you would jump and immediatly pull reserve and not land in plane?
    You have pretty good probability to die or get major injuries if you stay in plane.

    Note, horizontal airspeed speeds up reserve opening.

    I would jump at 200m/ 650ft or higher.
    Its 7seconds to impact.
    Two seconds for exit and pull, and five seconds for reserve opening. Nearly always reserve will fully open in five seconds.

  3. Hi, i am interested in doing some crw, but i really dont have money to buy another parachute(crw).
    I am planning:
    -sitting on canopy nose
    -standing on canopy top skin
    -hit firiends endcell with my body side
    If flying carefully, is it safe enough?

    My canopy is microlined sabre2 150 loaded 1.2
    At least i should wear thick pants to ensure lines are not injuring me.

  4. I jump with sabre2 150 wl 1.2 about 140 jumps with this canopy.
    Openings are soft, but nearly ever on heading.
    I havent had never linetwists, excluding bad body position openings.
    Flies nice and good flare.

  5. Which canopy has longer recovery arc: Sabre 2 150 or Pulse 135 with same exitweight?
    I know that sabre has longer rec.arc, but smaller canopy and bigger wingloading=longer recovery arc

    Another question, is PD planning to give more color options for Pulses bottom skin?
