    Did he actually check the card matched the canopy in the container when he was inspecting the canopy?   

    Numbers may be accidentally transposed or written down incorrectly on a card however this should probably be caught during the inspection when confirming this card matches the equipment being inspected.  This ensures any service bulletins against the gear are complied with.

    It's really the way that you read the serial number, one rigger wrote on the packing data card the way they thought it should be and the mistake took form. I don't fault anyone, I'm just happy that it wasn't true. I also don't fault a rigger that has a 20-year limit due to their own experience (CYA) 

  3. I thought I got a good deal 3300.00 packed and shipped. 1800.00 container and 1300.00 reserves.... although airworthy I cant sale either. I'll call them tomorrow and see what they say. I could have gotten a PD reserve for that price but chose to go with the same mfg as the container.

    spelling error

    In 11/2011 I bought a new container and reserve direct from the manufacturer... I haven't been jumping much in the last 7 years and just had my reserve repacked, my rigger told me I have another 2 years on my reserve (he has a 20-year limit) this reserve was purchased NEW, I freaked out when he told me the production date was 2001 and not 2011. Is it common for a manufacturer to have a reserve on the shelf for 10 years and still sell it as NEW?? I'm starting to feel that I got a bum deal and kind of feel ripped off. 

    I'm not saying who it is until I give them a chance to correct this error. Some advice would be great!

  5. I' had my rotator cuff repaired about 6-7 years ago, I think I took about 6 months off did my own PT and I can't even tell I ever had a problem. Now I wished that was the case on my last 5 spine surgeries and my Oct 2018 hip replacement. I made several jumps with C4 through C7 Fusion and L4-L5 fused too. In June 2018 a microdiscectomy S1-L5 and a new total left hip (Oct) replacement. I still plan to jump after aI heal :)
