  1. Thanks for your insight. I wanted to type something else but would not want to go to dz.com prison.
  2. Actually I believe that it was indeed the rig paperwork. In France they have 4 different documents Harness, reserve, main and AAD. Plus the eventual works report, AAD service paper, insurance, license. Often the jumpers keep the paperwork in a plastic envelope. On the video, it looks like the whole booklet.
  3. Makes me think about the calls I gave her through the DD List
  4. Various conversations? Where else than here ?
  5. In RW the only one who needs a mask is the videoman
  6. A pre-acid mesh era parachute probably deserves a display in a museum more than an AIR before potential use.
  7. Is the result the same if the rig is worn properly? (Leg straps on and tight) is the result the same if packed by a different rigger ?
  8. Maybe the passenger was not a paying passenger, but another experienced skydiver (even TI, why not) who was there to test the feasibility of Very High Altitude Tandem. Who knows. Yet again, I do believe that the crew involved in the jump are/were among the very knowledgeable in the high altitude jumping.
  9. What a shock. Such a great loss for the community. A very happy and helpful comrade.
  10. offspring are doing great. Once we can afford it, wife will be ex.
  11. Hi there. I quit jumping but got a beautiful tandem 10 days ago
  12. How many replies did you expect in 6 hours? And during the weekend?
  13. waiting time hanging around is the best way to learn about the activity. Plus it's free. weather hold ? Practice packing! Learn about different disciplines ! Get to know your co-jumpers ! Do some ground training, practice exits etc etc... Or practice your golf cart stunts.
  14. I’ll let you think about it. Hint, it is TSO related.
  15. This should be posted to the boobies thread
  16. my small rig has a Neos 109 and a PD 106 R, for the sake of having a small rig. Got to use the reserve once, and it is very responsive on front risers. Afterthought, I was very happy that I landed at my well groomed DZ and not one of the typical out landing you often get when things turn sour. This is one of my top 2 worse gear choice decisions (not the PDR, it is a great canopy, just the size. And the colour. I got a nice light blue canopy. Afterwords I thought I should have gotten a bright pink) Edited to add : it is loaded around 1.9 lbs/sq ft. OK to land in good physical and mental conditions, on a rather good terrain. Absolutely ridiculous if one of these factors is deficient.
