cornishe 0 #1 July 27, 2005 Attached is the photo of the prototype I will take to TWF with us. Maybe Rusell will actually jump it??? I call it the Cornishe Heavy Industries Parapalegic Inflatable Landing System. Or "CHIPILS" for short. :-) Many thanks to Corkscrew @ First Impact Rigging for the use (and misuse) of his machines and raw materials. .Abbie Mashaal Skydive Idaho Snake River Skydiving TandemBASE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tfelber 0 #7 July 27, 2005 So if this thing is supposed to float what keeps it from turning the person upside down and floating on top? Specially in a mishap type of landing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pBASEtobe 0 #8 July 27, 2005 The idea for this is to protect my ass from breaking when I land on the ground. Drowning is a good possibility with this when I test it into the water first. Haven't gotten that far in thinking yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lifewithoutanet 0 #12 August 2, 2005 As Russel's stunt-double (sounds better than "Abbie's Test Dummy"), I'm happy to say that the CHIPILS prototype didn't injure me in any way. It was jumped on Sunday, sadly after Russel had left to catch his flight home. I was D-bagged from Russel's bar to a perfect on-heading opening (thank you, Abbie, it almost made up for the 180). Inflation of the CHIPILS went flawlessly w/ the pull of a short cord which engaged a CO2 canister. From there, I cutaway the three-rings, which put me onto the lower attachment point of the custom risers--L-bars onto the main lift web, just below the mudflaps. This didn't put me in quite the reclined position we expected from testing on the zip-line in Tom's backyard last trip, though. As for the landing, I flared a bit earlier than I should have for this setup, but took the landing on the CHIPILS with my legs up and out of the way. It exploded on impact, but I didn't feel a thing. In that, it did its job. So, the CHIPILS itself will need a little more engineering, but Abbie's really onto something here. We're talking about a pressure valve of some sort so it can be a reusable system. The other factor I think we need to come back to is body-position in the harness with those lower attachment points...possibly making them even a little lower. Also, we need to figure out how to put the sidecar on for Russel's balls. Good job, Abbie. -C.
