FIFY Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess

That is how it should work if you are sold a $5 gadget at $200-$300. Rather harsh, wouldn't you say? If you can manufacture a comparable device for $5, you're going to make a killing selling them for $100. And.... go!

25,000'? Not impressive enough from 10K, or even 5K?? Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess

Nah, I've got this. Easy. Pisses off a few whiners in the 182, but damn... looks like the tightest outside video! Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess

I've lived a fair number of years and you've confirmed one of the axioms I've learned... there's nothing more intransigent than a reformed smoker/drinker/sinner. Get off your high horse.

Are you sure this is true? My understanding is that you can do what you want to your own main. Legally, the only thing that you can do if you're not a rigger or under the supervision of a rigger is pack the main if you're the next person jumping it. AC 105-2D also contains the following text, which is wide open to interpretation and probably will not carry the same weight as the CFRs in a court room: Looks like you're wrong, dude. Reference Section 13.a: a. Parachute. Title 14 CFR part 1, § 1.1 defines a parachute as a device used or intended tobe used to retard the fall of a body or object through the air... ...Except for a reserve static line (if installed), it does not include the main canopy, main risers, or components that depart with the main canopy if it is jettisoned.

You may wish to have a frank discussion with your packer (or your deployer ). I'd like to chime in, but I haven't had line twists for the last 500 jumps.

Eleven years later... He probably doesn't even know, that he ever jumped any of the canopies by now. Go and revive some more usefull threads =) In case anyone's curious, I'm guessing I loaded my modified T-10 at approximately 0.32. Couldn't get that damn thing to dive no matter what I did.

Kim looks kind of hot! http://www.timescall.com/portlet/article/html/imageDisplay.jsp?contentItemRelationshipId=6603721 Maybe she just needs a steamy affair with a skydiver to bring her around to our way of thinking.

Just got mine in.. looks pretty sweet! Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess

The Eagles, with 108 team members, will attempt to set a world record for the largest number of skydivers to build four formations on a single jump. If successful, the Eagles will also attempt to set world records for five formations, and possibly six formations. FAI Judges will be on site at Skydive Chicago and in Oshkosh.

Congrats! I hope you have nothing but fun and friends in the sky from here on out. :-D If you hit my DZ, I'll jump with you! Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess

It's pretty clear that Dee is keeping your legs apart. Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess

FWIW, your chin works as an excellent 'stop' for hyperflexion (head rolling forward) if you tuck it tightly into the top of your sternum (not jutting it out - if you don't know what I'm talking about, don't try it). By keeping muscular tension on that position, you'll have the best chance of preventing hyperextension (head tilting backwards). Trying to keep the head level during deployment will still require muscle tension, however the sudden rotation of your lower body under you during an unexpectedly *FAST* canopy opening is going to challenge that ability significantly. Besides, you are not likely to be sitting exactly straight up at the precise point of sudden canopy inflation. If you're in doubt, try this little test... brace yourself, standing upright, head up, and have someone abruptly and forcefully push you from behind right on the shoulder blades. Then do it with your chin tucked tightly. Video it from the side. You should see a significant difference in the amount of hyperextension. Now imagine the force multiplied exponentially to compare with a real hard opening. As I said, BTDT. I've had the back of my helmet strike my upper back. Numbness, stars, all the fun. I credit having stretched and strengthened my neck through martial arts to having kept that experience, just an 'experience'. Disclaimer: If you try this test, you assume all risks of injury. BTW, skydiverek didn't mention not wearing camera setups. Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen.

You simply did it wrong, probably didn't keep the tuck and changed your overall body position as well. As has been mentioned, good luck with that. Study the anatomy of the neck.

BTDT, seen the 'stars'. Gymnastics & martial arts are all similar. Keep your chin tucked forward tightly into your neck. You are much less likely to suffer an injury that way. After you pitch, tuck the chin and wait. Do NOT try to look at your canopy during deployment. It won't make it open any better. If you have a mal, you'll know it anyway. If a shitstorm has evidenced, you'll be in better shape to take care of business. Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen.

Your trollage is weak. But... but... he only weighs 78 pounds. With the 150 and the 170, he spent an average of 45 minutes per jump in canopy flight! Low jump #'s, but shitloads of canopy experience. Give the man at least a comp Velo, otherwise he'll be able to swoop twice on each landing. Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen.

one can tell you havent been around for very long.. Don't let VB trickle on your parade - it's still funny and he's forgotten there's always a new generation which hasn't seen the same old chestnuts.
