Terry - if someone grabbed the bridle as the PC goes out the door, is the PC still powerful enough to start the excitement? I thought it was a pull strength of only 80-90lbs? The catch is that it's a very sudden impulse - a static force of 90 seems like it would be easy to oppose. I'm not Terry, but borrow someone's rig that has a pull-out on it, and try to hold on to the PC after it inflates.With a regular Throw out PC you have it by the top center so you have the drag of the material in a "streamer" and it isn't that much. I have a P/O on my rig and have just about ripped my sholder out of socket a few times not meaning to hold on to it so long. But you would be surprised how much pull force that little thing has!!!

Nice pic's Jill!!!

You oughta tell him he can help chip in on Dilla's medical bills since he lied about the well water. I guess him letting you out of the lease is probably the least he could do for putting (be it directly or indirectly) you through this. Glad to hear that Dilla's problem can be cured, I don't think we could deal with much more bad news this week.But you finding anothe rplace to live is great news to hear!!!

Option C/ I really wished i've met her in real life, hurts like hell, and wonder why Her. Been drunk since 11am, am still drunk. Eugene Too true, I just came back from lunch and was seeing if there were any updates from Ohio, and read about Shannon. My heart instantly hit the floor. I like many people have chatted with her and was looking forward to meeting her someday. I am deeply saddened by this and all of my best wishes go out to Bob and to Shannon's family.

Ok, for what I'm gathering from all the comments thus far: You transitioned from sit to belly @ approx. 4500' Your protrack is showing an increase of speed at around the same time(yes I've looked at the graph) I'm assuming that your protrack is in your helmet, so depending on if you went from sit to "stand" to belly, or backflipped out of the sit you will speed up a little bit during the moment of instability until you actually get on your belly. Getting on your belly will slow you down a little bit, but it will not slow you down as fast as cupping air will. I've had one hard opening on a parachute that usually snivels for 1000' and I was doing the same thing that you were. I rolled over @ 3700' and threw @ 3000' and with a combo punch of hanging the nose on the canopy to speed up the opening a little and not slowing down after transitioning to my belly and I had a 300' opening. Two things to note: 1. Slow down before you pull!!! (Flatten out, cup some air do as much as you can to decrease you descent rate) 2. Your protrack in your helmet is sitting in your burble during sit flying (air coming around your butt torso and arms) when you transition to your belly it is in much cleaner air. which the protrack may read as a dramatic increase in fall rate as it is trying to catch up to the new altitude it is now reading. I wear my neptune on my hand and just it being in the burble of my hand has given me some wierd readings before. Always remember you can look at the data all day long but if you don't follow note number one your openings will continue to be hard!!! (Some of this is my opinion, you can tear it to bits if you want but your the one who posted on a public forum) Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws

I don't believe in forum censorship. Where ever the thread goes is where it goes . Regarding the punishment, will you be administrating the spankings??? No, Sorry to say but Skymama is the official administrator of beatings... er uh I mean spankings for Skydive Palatka. We're trying to develop a paddle that she can't break though (we're on #71 and still working out the kinks, that woman has one hell of a swing!!!)
