I realize this is an old post but I have found a reliable way to launch a 3way from a 182 is to have one person sitting in the "V" of the strut facing the rear of the plane with 1 foot on the step and 1 foot hanging , 2 on the step side by side facing forward. The person in the V holds chest straps, the person on the inside step holds arm grips. This has been very successful for a linked exit and ready to turn points by 8500 feet from a 9500 exit. I am going to try to add a fourth sitting in door with foot on step and taking arm grips on the inside step and the person in the "V". The fourth could easily dive or be hanging from the strut but I am working on bulletproof exits for newer jumpers.

I starting jumping July of 2003 at GCSPC and was immediately impressed by how seriously safety issues are taken. As a new jumper I always feel there is someone to go to when I need some help. Every one is willing to help a new jumper to become more a better jumper. On my 30th jump I had a malfunction that I cut away. By the time I had reached the ground, my reserve bag and main had been retrieved. I have since determined why the malfunction happened and with the help of the folks at the dropzone I have fixed the problem.
