I'll take DS#56 dudes.

So sad to hear the news of Marv. His laugh will be missed at drop zones everywhere.

Not much ventilation so it fogs easily despite the anti-fog coating. Faceshield frame is real stout, if you forget to close or it comes open (highly unluckly, very strong latch) it isn't going anywhere, won't rip off like so many others. I have intentionally jumped it open when fog froze on lens. Faceshield pivot pin protrudes into cavity for audible, I had a riser slap cause it to break the crystal lens in my ProTrack. You have to remove the foam ear priece to access the audible, velcro attach wears out after a while.

I have worn an athletic mouthguard on many dozens of jumps. On a bigway with a close-packed line exiting, I got kicked in the chin (despite wearing a full-face helmet) and bit most of the way through my tongue. It was painful enough that I started wearing a 'boil to fit' mouthguard like worn by football players and in other sports, depending upon my exit slot. I trimmed it down significantly so I could easily spit it out if I needed to yell out for some emergency. Never had a problem with it.

Any chance video has shots from the time he climbed out? I think the handle was pulled out, and possibly also trapped, when outside center came out of the plane, a few seconds before this clip starts.
