With over 10K pilot chute deployments, at least 1k drogue throws, I keep waiting for the eventual rotator cuff surgery to come around. One thing I do when working out at the gym is to get some of the rubber stretch handles and practice the throw gesture, since it's not a normal human movement. Seems to keep me going. Also use two and lean forward when I want to stay toned up for the occasional wing suit flight. madjohn Main goals in life: Be on the "Jumpers Over Eighty" (JOE) World Record and attend the Lost Prairie Boogie once after I'm gone.

As expected, a very insightful article. And very timely as 2 weeks ago we had a tracing dive turn up jump run, resulting in the following RW jumpers falling between canopies. Fortunately there were no collisions, only due to the fact, as Bryan has stated in the past "it's a pretty big sky" but we can't keep pushing its limits. Hopefully DZ's will address this with their "leaders" as well as staff to try and keep future problems to a minimum. Equally hopeful as that the "leaders" will address this with their fellow jumpers on their own.

Years ago, a fellow jumper was packing and realized that he had forgotten to take his slider back up the lines and packed it in the chute. Since we were doing hop-n-pops to do CRW we told him we thought it would be OK since base jumpers packed their sliders down. As I approached him to dock as Pin on the stack I heard him screaming that his shoes had been knocked off by the opening and his back was killing him. He didn't jump for 6 weeks.
