Until it gets worn out then crashes you into the ground regularly. I've seen people hurt from jumping F-111 gear that's well past its prime. Hell - I've jumped F111 stuff that required multiple wraps to get even a weak flare. Considering F-111 also tends to require a different flare style to ZP, and given that 99% of all second canopies are going to be a ZP one and therefore requires a bit of relearning, I'm not convinced second hand F-111 canopies are that good a choice for new jumpers any more. Can you please remind us which material are all reserves and BASE canopies are made out of ? Thanks ! I dont have a problem with them for over 700 jumps I think he is just saying old f111 canopies are not the best option for newer jumpers. btw my base canopy has over 500 jumps and lands just fine BASE 1519
