This entire thing is just yet another person in the skydive community that probably wasn't talked to harshly enough, and wrote off anything else because people were trying to be nice about it. I think I mentioned to Andrey a couple times that I thought the 129 was a bit of a leap in terms of canopy size, but like others, I didn't really go much further than saying it might not be the best idea and tried to be friendly about it. This was probably the same message and kindness he got from others, and mostly wrote it off as just a suggestion... He probably thought everything wasn't so bad until he posted the video and people could comment without any emotion. More peope need to bash people at the drop zones as they do online. I wish I could. Skydive community would probably be a safer place.

We weren't offered one. They said we were too tall to fit. I'm 6'3". I can't imagine this being too tall to fit in one, so I'll definitely try to get one next time. My friend is 6'5+ with a very tall torso, so not too sure about him. What's weird is he was mentioning jump suits and a third student in the plane with us was shorter and still didn't have one on.

I made my first static line jump this last weekend (first skydive ever) and my friend and I didn't wear a jumpsuit. He ended up sliding on his ass on landing which ripped through his jeans and boxers. He had to use the chute to cover himself, so his ass wasn't lighting up the world! I'll be wearing one next time!
