Wasnt being serious.....but how does reverse risers have a higher cutaway force? Thought they would be the same... FTMC
-
Your neck will most likely snap before the risers do...and if your worried about it get reverse risers they have no grommet hole.. nah I dont no I thought they had a bit of reinforcement FTMC
-
It be can be used on anything its approved for which is most containers....I know that vectors and talons are able to use the m2 FTMC
-
If u want a cheap reliable main u will find heaps of sabre1s getting around for next to nothing....and as long as u can put the slider where its meant to go it will serve u well FTMC
-
Yeh true I suppose...and I had to google what a barish sailwing was. They look like a mad bit of gear FTMC
-
Depends on what it is...for example u would think paracommanders from the 60s have gold in them for some of the prices ppl want for them....I was going to buy one thinking id get one for next to nothing...and no way am I paying anywhere $500 for a 50 year old roundy lol FTMC

I got one a while back all good and got to choose pretty much any colour......have had no problems FTMC

If you already have a container, then sure. However, renting for 30+ weeks @ $100/day or $30/jump is a bit expensive. If I could find a used or stock Vector of the right size, I would probably get it. Also, just to nitpick, being the first to come up with an idea doesn't necessarily mean that your implementation of that idea will be perfect. I imagine that most manufacturers look at UPT designs and try to develop their own small improvements. Aerodyne's miniforce rings are just one example, although in my case I'm going with standard rings and risers. It hasnt really been improved on....and Yes true the wait sucks...I bought a cheap vector2 to use while waiting for my new vector(still waiting).. just figured if im spending that much$ to go new might aswell get what I want and not go for my second choice due to wait time....this may not suit everyone ok FTMC

Intentional Cutaway Desired - Raven Micro 150 Concerns
skez replied to mdrejhon's topic in Safety and Training
Alot of people get hurt and cant take responsibility on there own so its alot easier to blame the gear when they most likely would have got hurt on any tiny f111 7 cell coz it didnt behave the same as there main FTMC -
Most decent/common manufacturers a person buys first and uses they will think its the best etc coz it works and they havent died lol.....in saying that bill booth invented half the shit every type of container uses today...so upt has set the standards for skydiving in general...so why choose anything else FTMC

Intentional Cutaway Desired - Raven Micro 150 Concerns

Got a solution anyone who's scared to jumps micro ravens just send it to me....ill use it FTMC -
Motorbike helmet should be your own choice as the only person thats going to suffer from it is yourself there is no potential to hurt others......jumping without aad has potentional to kill others damage property etc.. it would be unlikely but if u get knocked out or killed...and your over the dz or anyone etc u become a missile that will destroy anything it hits FTMC

Instead of starting a new thread.. Does anyone know where u can buy 1 single slink ? Need one for a pilot chute bridle FTMC
-
Also approved in parachutes australia talons..and rigging innovations FTMC
-
the card show container details mods etc..reserve packs and add services and all that...I really thought the packing card stayed with the container?? Am I wrong FTMC
-
Also say the well know and respected cypress is expired at about 12 years yet others go way longer....Therefore in theory I cant see a cypress even being out of date by a year or so being a problem...as long as batteries are all good FTMC
-
If u separated a container and reserve to sell I would have thought the packing card goes with the container? So would probably happen alot FTMC
-
Also read somewhere that the femur is the hardest bone to break and rarely does someone only break a femur by itself...its usually one of multiple breaks and usually only occurs in bad car accidents or falling injuries.....when I broke my femur I also broke both ankles severely (as in my profile pic) , plus dislocated and broke my elbow FTMC
-
Yeh makes sense..I thought similar...but also thinking either it would bend and just crack the femur in alot of places or if u hit it right just have a titanium rod spear threw your knee lol.. No matter what its gonna be bad I suppose FTMC
-
same shit happened to me a while back had a bit of a canopy collapse coming into land luckily was just high enough to regain then flare and land safely ....but scared the shit out of me ... FTMC
-
Ive got a pink raven FTMC
-
Theres a parachute landing he did ages ago in the snow and ice somewhere that was clearly fake....im guessing the camera ppl weren't in the right place to catch the real landing...so wat they did was make a shitty ground launch type thing into a landing....I cant find the video anymore but FTMC
-
People should also be worried about what will happen if u break a femur again with a full length titanium rod on the inside of the femur.....it would make a mess and maybe evan be unfixable has anyone seen it happen? FTMC
