Was browsing through dropzone.ru - noticed that they had boogie to set a record for biggest formation pf skydivers who have the same first name (Dmitry). That had 37 Dmitry's jump, 20 make a formation and 8 make a freefly formation. Is it a real record? I could imagine somebody can set up an attempt like that around here for, say, Bob's, or Steve's?

No. This is a picture posted there. (Incident waiting to happen?) I am so sorry everybody got so upset. I apologize.

If this is not an incident - what it is? Sorry to offend incident police, of course..

"Dva kryla" means "two wings". The other writing is the name of the guy who took the picture.

Why? Is not a two-out an incident? Why would you need all the bloody details? Guy got a two-out and apparently landed safely - made for a nice picture. I just saw the picture on a russian site.

Reserve deployment attempted? CYPRES? .. Scary..

Radioactive design..

Mirage. You get what you pay for. And then some..

Yest' neskol'ko.. A chto?

You know. If I only had this posts to look at, I would trust Tom by a large margin. I am not an expert at all - but just judging by the quality of the arguments presented.. Of course we all have more then this posts to look at, so poor presentation style will not be that important.. P.S. How are NASA (and O.T.H.E.R. space agency) tests of Crossfire going?

Hm. Is it just a remote possibility that other people have an opinion different then yours? Just asking..

Mmm.. 150 exit lb on 170, moving to 120 is a jump from 0.88 to 1.25 a jump of 0.37 230 exit 1.35 to 1.91 a jump of 0.56 Your math is a tiny bit off.. But the conclusion is not..

Maybe this one?

Fair enough. But what about VTEC vents? Or some other trick to improve pressurization when sinking in - would be nice to have the ability to land it almost straight down, if needed. Is it feasible?
