There are more than a few jumpers who get on a load without even looking at the posted winds aloft, let alone knowing how to spot.

Glad to hear that she's on the road to recovery. I was fused from L3 to T1 in February and my muscles still let me know that they're around.

What area of the country is this in? Any place with freeze-thaw winters, are not conducive to patching. The saw cutting and full thickness replacement will work almost anywhere. Be sure to drill some bolts (12" oc) into the sides of the cuts and leave approximately 2-3" protude into the new pour.

Last Feb. I was involved in a canopy collision at 100' which left me with 1/3 of a canopy, spinning on my back. After the "What the fuck was that", I started pumping the remaining toggle and grabbing lines to do SOMETHING. The survival instinct kind of takes over, and IT WORKED!

I had a PISA 170 9 cell for a while (100 jumps), as a canopy in a backup rig. I found out, the hard way, about it collapsing with front riser input. Had some slammer openings but this was circumvented by different packing methods. It flew fine with toggles and had a good glide and a reasonable flare. I sold it last year and warned the buyer of its quirks and he loves it.

I'm in agreement with the advice to check out other dzs. You haven't stated where you jump, so I'm hoping there are other dzs in your area. If you ever get to Cross Keys, just ask manifest, they'll direct you to someone, (probably me). I'll jump with anybody as long as they're safe. Unfortunately, inexperience seems to be a determining factor with most up jumpers, but haven't we ALL been in your shoes at one time? Don't give up.

If the base is together, they can pick up the rate AS A GROUP. I only attempt to speed up if the people who are low are trying to get back up. If they've given up, they're on their own.
