Let's hear some stories about the hardest tandem students to get out of the plane! Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

CLAPPING LOUDLY!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't agree more. Dude, it's your life, you are dead each time you jump out of a plane. It's up to YOU to save your life. You were saved by a Cypress but don't expect it to happen next time. If you want to try it again that is YOUR decision. I respect you for at least trying and not standing on the ground saying "why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" You must care about this sport or you wouldn't have posted the same shit 3X on a skydiving forum. Be a man and get back in the air, otherwise, don't call yourself a skydiver and take that closing pin neclace off. Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

Holy shit! And to the other guy who only held onto his chest strap in freefall and during deployment, HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! Thanks to both of you for sharing your stories so that others can learn. I don't check my chest strap and leg straps 3 times before and during a skydive, it's more like 20. I also visually inspect each and every person on the plane that I can see. Falling out of my rig is the greatest fear I have about skydiving. If someone with me on the plane fell out of their rig I would feel horrible! Folks, we all need to realize that we are DEAD each and every time we jump out of a plane. The only thing that saves our lives is the trusty rig. Check to make sure you are properly attached to it like your life depends on it, because IT DOES!!!!!!!!!! Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

Those numbers are fine, I'm not going to argue that, but if you find yourself in trouble at 2000 ft, or even 1500, you will be ok to chop. As far as 3800 for deployment altitude, that's a personal decision. You will have a hard time going on big ways pulling at that number. On the 15 way I jumped last weekend no one pulled over 3000. FYI, my comfortable deployment altitude is 3500 and my decision altitude is 1500. Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

When you cannot go forward into the wind to land (landing backwards is no fun). As a general rule I would rather land my canopy then land in one of these crappy skydiving planes with high winds. That's no joke! One of the scariest moments I've ever had skydiving was landing in the plane while a front was pushing through. It was supposed to be my SCR jump too!!!!!!

I'm not sure if it would work but it would probably be a fun experiment. Get 2 or 3, fill em with water (maybe with a lil tobasco), and set em up in your backyard. After tripping once or twice the yotes probably won't come back. Or at least watch their distance. http://www.alternativepaintball.com/mines.htm I was just thinking that would make for a great burglar-deterrent, but it needs to be permanent dye... or.... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72yun_israeli-skunk-spray-weapon_news I bet the guys in that truck were laughing their asses off!
