  5. In this instance another 5 seconds and we would not be having this particular discussion. From what I read she was able to work the snag out, but the canopy did not fully inflate before impact.

    This thread had started to reinforce the idea that snag was not the primary concern with low jump numbers and a go pro (distraction being the primary concern)....has that changed? Any other known snag incidents with a go pro?

  6. I'm new (and arguably dumb) so don't flame me over this question......

    Go Pro is a cheap HD camera that performs well for the price. Reason for popularity, yes?

    If someone opts for the go pro due to price point it's unlikely that they will invest in a more "snag free" housing for the go pro because it cost more, yes?

    Does this make the arguments surrounding how to make the go pro more snag free more or less academic?

    I ASKED , IN THAT SITUATION if a SNAG occurs , would more experience help ? That was a general question about that specific situation.



    I've given more thought to cameras after reading the incident thread on the other board.

    From all accounts (that I've read) the jumper in question was very experienced (fairly new to base?) and I doubt more skydiving experience would have helped...it this case she just needed more time and did not have it.[:/]

    Question is....what good would it do them against any of the number of armies waiting around to kick their ass?


    Look you don't get it do you?
    It's a Persian thing!
    It's not about go it's all about show!
    I mean really! Come on! I'm willing to bet good money that these things have designer props and leather seats!
    Sure they may not be fast but it's noy about being fast brother it's all about show off how sexy you look!
    "Ladies, like my flying boat! Oh yes you know you do! It's like my carpet but this one has a DVD player and if this boat is a rocking don't come a knocking!"



    It would be cheaper to just by a Ferrari.



    Persians can afford to be cheap.

    ..., so you are picking on me :)

    Get over yourself. You take a comment too seriously/personal.


    Aren't you a sweetie :)

    Just returning your emotion. I simply asked a question gave an observation and you got upset. I wasn't picking on you. get over it.


    You two should just get a room and get it over with. :P

  23. I continue to learn a lot by readying dz.com, but this posting stuff is just not working out...I've got to step away from the keyboard.

    To everyone who offered advice and constructive critisizm to this noob I appreciate it. I'm a bit dense at times so I appreciate your efforts to reinforce conventional wisdom.

    I'm going to step out of my comfort zone and start actively trying to get on RW jumps.

    To those of you that are less than constructive in your comments. Perhaps you too should step away from the keyboard. What are you accomplishing with your comments?

    Again, thanks for all the advice. I've heard you. I'm going to get with some organizers and coaches....maybe I'll even get with the toastmasters. lol
