Thank you for all of the replies and advice! No, unfortunately I did not have a helmet on. No one wears one at the gym when they boulder but from now on I will be wearing one. Kevin, while there are ways to increase the snivel on your main (larger slider, etc.), you're going to have to take into account that while it is your intention to jump the main, you're really jumping your reserve on every jump. A reserve is packed to open in ~300' at terminal; and will be abrupt. I have a Skyhook. Will this help with such a scenario? Thank you for the advice =) That John Denver's full of s**t man...

Thanks SimpleJack! I am currently doing EEG work with my Neurotherapist (He is one of the top one's in his field right now and doing a lot of research work in it). It has been very helpful so far and we are trying to fix the areas of my brain that were injured in the fall. That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

Hi, I've been skydiving for about 10 months now and just had a mild traumatic brain injury from an 8 foot fall while indoor rock climbing (bouldering). I had a concussion and don't remember 48 hours of my life that started right after I fell and hit the ground. I have been working with my neurotherapist to repair the damage (apparently mild traumatic brain injuries can be very severe, more severe that major traumatic brain injuries in many cases). I am afraid (and so is my doctor) about the rapid deceleration that occurs during opening. Is there a parachute that swivels for awhile before it opens to lower the G-forces exerted on my body and brain? I currently use a Saber 2 170 (I weigh about 165 lbs). I am, of course, not jumping for a few months until my brain heals well (at least 4), as my injury happened on the 18th of December. All help and advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and hopefully I can repay the kindness to the skydiving community with my future physical therapy work =) I am 23 and going for my doctorate in physical therapy and want to work with physically and mentally injured patients, possibly skydivers who have been in accidents. Thank you!

What kind of lens is that? That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

Some of my better pictures of my fairly new freefly career That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

River God - follows a fascinating plot during the Egyptian times with ample action moments and a very fun plot. Black Hawk Down - fast paced action, written very well, time line is easy to follow, I learned a lot from it. Embraced by the Light - everyone should read this book That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

Sraja, Congratulations on getting your B-license! You got yours right before me ;-) I received my B-31771 last Wednesday That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

oooooooo ahhhhhhh NICE setup!!! Looks badass That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

This has to be one of my favorite threads on this forum. It will probably save someone's life one day. I am curious as to what I would do in such a situation, now that I've read the replies to this thread. I have a Saber 2 170 and weigh about 155 lbs, so what altitude would I need to pull at to be under AAD fire velocity by 1050'? In this situation at 1200' I would probably go for my main instinctively, as was mentioned previously. That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

well told sir That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

I believe they are the same cameras. I own the TG1 and I mostly use SD HQ and the video quality is excellent. That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

^^^^^wait did I read that wrong? Lol, I'm just messing. I understand your point now. It is a wise one. Thank you for the wisdom =) That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

I'm confused. How does that relate to jumping a camera with low jump numbers That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

That was very impressive performance! Great camera and great mount. Thank you cookie for the work put into making a box for this camera! That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive

WoW, that is just a little bit more professional than mine That John Denver's full of s**t man... It's a great day to be alive
