  1. 1) NEVER jump up 2) If the plane is climbing, just roll out.
  2. Line twists happen, since you are skittish about H&Ps my guess would be bad body position at/after pull. Either jump or not, as you feel.
  3. I think a way to encourage new younger jumpers is to brng back SL/IAD. An SL/IAD course is considerably lower cost than AFF.
  4. They sure can when they tow for a while then clear! Then it wouldn't be a bag lock anymore though would it? Correct, however a baglock that clears is still a baglock, likewise a lineover that clears is still a lineover. Some malfunctions may be fixed providing sufficient altitude and time and some may clear on their own.
  5. I like the Z1, the faceshield locking mechanism on the Oxy is funky and the shields are hard to replace.
  6. I'm still trying to figure out why this is in the Incidents forum? I had a off heading opening on my wingsuit last yesterday, maybe I'll post something about it........ And i had a lineover that cleared when i released the brakes, WOW!
  7. They sure can when they tow for a while then clear!
  8. Obvious troll Sorry, my bad; wasn't trolling just stating an outdated opinion. Basically you can goof up in freefall and go unnoticed, but under canopy the mistakes become incidents... Understood , although I've seen up close some things in freefall that could have resulted in an incident.
  9. All I know is I'm docking on you Friday And I'll pack where I can!
  10. I bought a rig from a friend and took it to my rigger for I&R before jumping it. He sait the PC would have only come out about 1 foot. This could have been a serious problem for a low speed mal.
  11. Thanks for the clarification Wendy. You doing the Sept 100ways?
  12. Don't quit skydiving, just make roadtrips to Lodi! Do the math, at $15/jump how many jumps do you have to do in a weekend to pay for the trip?
  13. The easiest way to dry a main canopy is to "air dry" it by jumping it. I would not recommend jumping a wet reserve.
  14. It's a tandem factory, fun jumpers get on a load when they can.
  15. go buy a $10 multimeter at radioshack.
  16. You won't get much skydiving in Hawaii
  17. The same reason that they dropped barefoot water ski jumping. Most people will never be able to do it in their lifetime.
