    You can get more surface area palms up, though. Simply because you can get your arm to turn sideways and your triceps adds more surface area. Again, though...minimal difference that you probably wont even notice.



    Besides this is wouldn't make any difference it's not even true. Palms down has exposes more surface area. Not that it would make a difference anyways.

  4. The most interesting part about all this is that tons of fellow skydivers start a huge hate campaign against a dz, potentially causing financial damage beyond repair etc....
    without even waiting for a statement by the DZ.
    Even gear manufacturers chiming in.

    As if some blogpost of a single guy would be the undisputable truth, only because he is a decorated vet.
    I know decorated vets that i wouldn't even trust an inch.
    Especially a person seeking for donations to write a book on his blog.

    Not saying it didn't happen... but how can someone just unquestioningly believe a story that wasn't reported by a third party but by an obviously pissed off customer.

    Some people should breathe through there noses for a minute.

  13. Hey!

    Life is full of pleasant surprises....was at the dropzone today and did my 218th jump with a guy from a different DZ.
    Best friggin' jump ever! First time I managed to dock with someone in HD.

    What I find funny with freeflying is that it often makes *click* during a jump and you wonder why you couldn't do it before.

    Anyways heres the video (my POV):

    sorry for my rusty english....

  14. Being under a Tandem is a very dangerous place to be.

    But I would like to have your opinion on something (especially from the more experienced folks here).

    Let's just say you want to take photos from below the tandem. Being directly under the tandem is, without controversy, very dangerous (TD-premature, burble etc.).

    Would this still be the case if the photographer would be, let's say 45feet below the tandem?

    This doesn't resolve the danger of a premature of the photographer's canopy. But wouldn't it be enough room to have time to react in case of a TD-premature (trap-door), respectively the burble wouldn't have any greater effect on the TD?

    I know that the angle for the picture/video may not be the best. This is just a theoretical question.

    Thank you.

    Here's the question:
    Will anyone else be there / has been there several times and can give me some tipps?

    Feel free to shoot me a PM. Thanks in advance.
