im with johnrich on this one. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

It's a question of the intent behind the language, not just the raw language itself. Landing a parachute after an emergency bailout from a distressed aircraft would probably be considered an emergency landing. An intended deployment of a parachute as part of a skydive would not be an emergency, even though it is obviously a matter of great urgency (considering the alternative). Thus, the landing of a skydiving canopy, having been intended, would usually not be an emergency under normal circumstances. I'd think (presume?) that skydiving parachute landings would probably be in the same category as unpowered glider and paraglider landings, since there is no opportunity for a powered go-around. andy you summed up what i was trying to say. sorry everyone for the poor wording, i just didn't know how to explain it any better. and bowling sucks "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

You are mostly correct. FAA Part 91 Section 113 paragraph c: An aircraft in distress has the right-of-way over all other air traffic. You can't assume you always have the right of way since you can't be certain that the aircraft hasn't declared an emergency. And to answer your next question - Yes I am being a dick since, to my knowledge, in the history of powered flight no aircraft in distress caused an injury or fatality to someone under canopy. I think I'll still go with never assuming I have the right of way. aren't all parachute jumps considered emergency landings? if so who gets the right of way? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

i think the jumping place has a skyvan. there was one at skyfest and i think that is where it came from. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

not the kind of porn he was talking about... i hope "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

hell yes! so much better than trent reznor. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

see photos they do now (the dolphin may as well be a cock and balls). i think all of the problems you mention have been addressed with the new dolphin containers. here are pics of my brand new dolphin. edited to add: i have vse mini risers so the toggles are not velcro toggles. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

your honest opinion is much appreciated. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

I said i was fixing to start freeflying, not that I am. I want to get another 50 to100 jumps before I start. That will put me around 125 to 160 or so jumps, in which time I won't be able to afford another rig. That's why I wanted to make sure it is freeflyable. And I trust the rigger who assembled my rig and I trust him when he tells me it is safe to freefly. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Don't believe it!! When I said that about the Velcro, I mention the Velcro holding the main pin cover. New dolphins have tuck tab risers. I toggle hanging out is some scary shit. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

post some good cover songs. here are two bad company http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_VsvZmIWxY imagine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktv2C9vnRKU "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

a big fat whopping 0. 2nd weekend in a row i havent been able to jump. this weekend i will HAVE to get my knees in the breeze. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

You also need a butt bungee on the leg straps. Pm'ed you some info. And in my other post I mention the Velcro on the main tuck flap. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

I just bought a new dolphin container. The new ones come with the mods you are talking about. Tuck tab risers and bridle protection come on it. I was also concerned because I am fix in to start free flying. I checked with my rigger and he says as long as the velcro is in good condition it is VERY safe for free flying. Dolphin has stepped up their game and if someone won't jump with you because you don't have an expensive flashy rig, then you don't want to jump with those people anyway. I haven't gotten any negative comments about my dolphin. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Amazing shot! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Oooh, that's dark. But funny. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

What's the "problem" with mini risers? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

O I've only seen one person with one of these, and it looked like a good idea. Wouldn't the snag hazard be just as great as with a d ring? What are the pros and cons of this type handle? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Respect isn't given, it's earned. That goes for cops too. Good job. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

I wear contacts and use $15 goggles and i have never had problem with them. I did have a contact pop out once when I wore a pair of goggles That are made for motorcycle riding. The breather holes in the goggle frame were too big. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
