BUMP!! Love this place and was introduced to skydiving at CarolinaFest will def be in attendence

So just to clear the air I am a "noob" who doesn’t know anything about anything (insert "stupid student" tirade below) but maybe my “newguyness” has allowed me to see a more simple (or possibly completely ignorant) view of this but; wouldn’t loosening the chest strap give a much greater PERCEPTION that the canopy would fly better under turbulence? My logic being that by loosening the chest strap you now make the who rig “looser” and more free moving (or at least less bound to your body) therefore, with less points of connection the rig can now absorb more energy/turbulence without transmitting it directly into your body from the canopy. It’s hard to describe what I am trying to say but for example: the shocks and suspension in a sports car is much more “tight” or rigid which causes you to really “feel” the road under you (every bump and hump) as opposed to a minivan which would have much “looser” suspension which allows more absorbsion of energy before it gets you which could give the feeling or allusion of “smoother” or less turbulent ride when it actually is not. I guess I’m asking the more experienced people if the looser straps cause better dispersion of energy through the rig and not so much directly into you?? AGAIN FOR CLARIFICATION, ME= DUMB STUDENT… KNOW NOTHING… NEED HELP… (just figured I’d save you the trouble of having to say it yourself)

haha the neighborhood where all this is happening is litterally like 5 min away from me... i was half expecting this article to come out of some 3rd world country, although i suppose SC is close enough
