Video attached, looks like a delayed parachute deloyment: - time interval between AAD fire (smoke visible from parachute rocket launch) and parachute appearing. - parachute seems to be reefed (like on space rocket). So, the Cypres might have fired at 750 feet, but it was not enough for this kind of parachute, IMO. 20220425_174719.mp4

FAA had denied the stunt before it took place: https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/plane-swap-stunt-fails-no-injuries-repoted/

Authorities investigating The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has now launched an investigation into the stunt, which it says never received the green light to go ahead. The agency said in a statement it had not approved Red Bull’s request on Friday for a safety exemption. In a denial letter, FAA argued the attempt “would not be in the public interest and cannot find that the proposed operation would not adversely affect safety”. .

The plane is totaled (crash landed), looks like parachute might have entangled with the tail and did not slow it down enough. BTW, here is the corcscrew part from the live stream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODCzlEyaSDM

I believe it was Sunpath company testing Mars (M2) AAD, not Mars company testing Sunpath rig.

JAVELIN reserve pilotchute:

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:

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?

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?
