These knives are great! Made of a SINGLE piece of steel (meaning, blade is NOT a seperate piece).

Big one:

Small one:

I have both models. Bigger one under mud flap, smaller one under front leg strap cover (above the legstrap hardware). One high, one low. One on the right, one on the left. Just in case one of your arms is broken, or you cannot reach high or low in a canopy wrap.

See below:

VIDEO of actual practice jumps attached below:

Planes will be EMPTY (no pilots inside) during the transfer.

They did make G4 (impact resistant/rated helmet).

PM sent.

Any update on the above?

Custom reserves, Go Army.

That was a second main, not a reserve. He had three parachutes in total.

Intentional malfunction. During airshow. Jumper has three parachutes in total. Performed by US Golden Knights.

The ones made after 2001 had reinforcements. Production ended 2003, I believe.

No problem for a rigger.

(I am taking about both computer view and mobile view):

It used to be that whenever the paid ad was (paid again) and renewed, it was bumbed to the top (in all Forum views, like here: https://www.dropzone.com/forums/  , and deeper (meaning inside all individual Forums, and also when reading any individual post). Talking about "Featured Ads" section in all these views.

The ad is not bumped to the top anymore, when it is paid and renewed.

Can you please make it go to the top (like it used to be)?

Yes, the first canopy was deployed from the bucket:

@carrier louis paul

Your videos show the manual activation of the reserve.

The French Bulletin talks about the cutter relocation.

Can you explain the connection between the two?

@carrier louis paul: what was this additional small part that fell out from the rig (in one of your previous videos linked below)?:

https://www.dropzone.com/forums/topic/272799-icon-total-malfunction/?do=findComment&comment=4949785

It is the altitude where a significant slow down happened (think of it as middle of canopy opening process). 

I was able to trick my L&B Viso II+ with a very moderate wingsuit flight flatening (it was registered as canopy opening).

What exactly was a problem? What is 'acid mesh' ?

I personnally used the regular method of bagging, and the opening shock was so severe what it happened in one second and was transmitted to my body near the junction of the vertical and thoracic spin, a forward flexion of my head and neck occured and had considerable biomecanical signifiance, the head-neck injuries brought me to wear a neck brace at all times for 14 months, while the Icon parachute harness induces a compression of the lombar and thoracic spins which affected the cervical and thoracic spins so much , mild cranio-cerebral trauma : Glasgow score greater than 13 due to a force directly applied to the head transmitted to the brain.

The "whiplash" the brain stumbles forward, then it was back against the cranium brought me :

unconsiousness and post-trauatic amnesia during 24 hours, a transient focal neurological deficite and altered mental state ll the time of the accident with dizziness and disorientation, thanks Aerodyne

 

Can you explain how Icon container caused more damage ?

.

I jump:

Pilot 168, with Dacron lines, and (larger) slider from Pilot 230 with brass slider grommets.

800 jumps, one extremely fast opening (lasted half a second), but the force was not transmitted brutally to me! I was amazed, did not feel any pain or even discomfort. I contribute this to stretchy Dacron.

This can be avoided by not jumping the deathtrap Racer double RSL

There is NOT a double RSL in this video.

The reserve deployed THRU two risers (two risers from the same same side of the rig).

I jumped both. Pilot opens softer.
