  22. ***At first design this was my approach as well as it does more closely follow the design of a parachute harness as for placement of load. The drawback is getting the victim to rig this up. You likely will not be able to reach them and you do not want to do anything to dislodge the parachute from the tree, including swinging/repelling to them and/or having them fidgeting in the harness trying to complete the rig. This could still be accomplished if you set up something like I described as a safety while the more complicated rigging is put into place, but I just don’t see the need. *** that is an easy fix. attach a carabiner to each end of a fiveish foot rope. make a loop in the middle of the rope. the person stuck can snap the carabiners to his leg straps, pull the loop up through the inside of the chest strap, then connect the belaying rope to the loop in the middle of the five foot rope. this would only take one hand and will most likely not require the person stuck to move very much.

  23. Another term for "dog leg" which you'll see frequently in meteorological discussions is "directional wind shear" -- just a change in wind direction with a change in altitude. You can get an idea of whether there is significant shear near your DZ by checking the forecast winds aloft before you even leave your house. i jump at the farm which is 90 miles through atlanta so i stay the weekend. i check the winds before my first jump and make sure they haven't changed before the next. thanks for the link "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
