Serious drogue entanglement with a cutaway?

Hi Just to inform you that your Techno 155R has a MAX GROSS WEIGHT of 220 Lb. / 100 Kg. & same your ATOM LEGEND H/C. If you have an OLDER Techno 155R they were limited to 190 Lb./90 Kg. At your present position you are jumping a Non-Legal / Non-Approved system. The PdF Techno 155R & ATOM LEGEND are holding FAA & JTSO TSO C23D & limited to 220 Lb./100 Kg. @ 150 Knots. Read my post above & get the same advise - Do Not jump your system when your Exit weight is 250 Lb. Be Smart. Cheers

Hi Does your weight is 270 lb./ 122 Kg. ? Your system = WINGS h/c & PR143 are FAA TSO'd items which have by LAW & the MFG. WEIGHT & SPEED limits based on tests & SAFETY FACTORS. If you does weight around 270 Lb. (122 Kg.) you are jumping a NO-LEGAL TSO'd H/C & RESERVE. The MAX GROSS WEIGHT for the PR143 is 254 Lb. (115 Kg.) & SAME for your WINGS h/c These numbers are the MAX LEGAL LIMITS of the TSO'd system. Working twice does not mean it should be the same next time. You are RISKING yourself big time & also risk your DZO / Rigger for let you jump a NON-LEGAL system. One more point for you to think about: if you have personal insurance they might NOT cover you for jumping that system. Be SMART & STOP jumping that system. Cheers !!!
