danornan 79 #1 June 24, 2011 Just read the latest incident report and it sounds like Ground Hog Day..... My condolences to all of the friends and family. Without any details, it sounds like the same old thing, another high speed landing incident.Dano Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does seem like the safety of parachutes used in skydiving has peaked and is on a definite downward trend. This should be obvious to us all when very experienced skydivers die from momentary poor canopy control. Monkey see monkey do. Its really up to the 'pro's on show ' to set a good example in canopy choice not be the ones screamin' in like idiots. A few steps backwards as regards choosing more docile canopies would imho be a good thing for the sport. Skydiving might get cruisy again, you know like it used to be.
