AggieDave 6 #2 January 20, 2004 There have been more then a few threads about this. Billbooth even replied to one of them, you might want to do a search.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fudd 0 #3 January 20, 2004 They can be done more freefly friendly. Many people have used them for freeflying for many jumps. However, it was not designed for freeflying. Covers and flaps will open, and sooner or later it will probably bite ya. I had a vector II that was modified a bit, but I didn't use it to freefly. IMHO it's not worth the risk. I've had loads of fun doing RW with it though Safety first!!! Do a search. Just upgraded to a Wings container, so now i might start playing around with some FF. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apley 0 #4 February 7, 2004 i would keep looking... i had a vector II for about a year, and did freefly with it. the more i learned from my super-safety-conscious rigger (thank you CRAZY LARRY @ perris), the more scared i got. after witnessing a few premature openings on other rigs, i got rid of that beast! the worst of the hazards: velcro riser covers & no bridle protection other than velcro. even though you can continually replace this velcro, shorten your closing loop for a harder pull (bridle is less likely to pull the bag out when catching air), and pray to your plastic jeezus, why add risk just to save a few bucks?
