  8. Well IMHO, you shoudn't be jumping. Or at least I wouldn't if I were you. But each to their own. Doesnt it worry you about getting a hard landing and damaging your back? ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!

  10. Loads of guys at my DZ bought Neptunes. Most of them broke and had to be replaced. Even the screen shattered on one them on the walk out to the aircraft. Reliable? ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!
  11. 3 way. One guy was pulling at 4500. I forgot. My fault. Exit went tits up. At 5000 DIRECTLY above him, saw him wave off, canopy deployed. Shut my eyes and tracked. On the ground, the guy said he heard a 'swoosh' go by his canopy and felt the canopy shake (obviously me tracking past). Both thought we were gonna die. Never again. ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!

  24. >>I really doubt the canopy got 'worse' or the >>damage progressed AFTER it opened. The >>damage is done during deployment and not >>much after that. Complacency? I think not. The canopy DID get worse after deployment, I was on the ground watching. I would bet my right leg that with any doubt whatsoever he woudlve chopped it. On most occasions you may be right, the majority of damage is done on opening. On this occasion this was not so. You mention assumptions? Isnt that what you just did? Assume? ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!
