I may be wrong but I thought aspect ratio was related to chord vs span of the canopy and not height vs width of the cells. Can someone confirm? One of us is severely misunderstanding the situation!

Yes, you're right. Sorry. Static lines are different as they do not rely on relative wind in the same way as pilot chutes do. ETA - I may be getting out of my depth here!

I may be wrong here, but aren't all those examples of jumpers opening soon after exit, so although they are not belly-to-earth, they are all belly-to-relative-wind?

Wise words, Pops. It does no harm to have a quick glance at everyone else's gear as you wait to board. It can be done hands-off without them even knowing and could save a life.

What does this mean? I have seen people write it several times and there must be a story behind it. Just curious to know.

Do online spectators count as they presumably released this in an attempt to create publicity?
