jkwon 0 #26 April 21, 2004 Hmm...see thats what I thought too. I kinda liked that idea of being able to pull my own pin...I dunno. Maybe I'll try this freefly handle out and then in a year or two decide whether or not I want to send my rig in to be modified for a pullout. I guess the best thing would be to try them both.

mikeat10500 12 #27 April 22, 2004 I made my first jump on a pull-out system the day I bought my first rig. That was jump #50, and I never looked back. I had my first reserve ride the next weekend...terminal on a lopo 26'. I recommend the pull-out....but I do not recommend changing main deployment systems on a whim...or back and forth.----------------------------------- Mike Wheadon B-3715,HEMP#1 Higher Expectations for Modern Parachutists.

rigging65 0 #28 April 22, 2004 1) Both systems work well....each has its own benefits and disadvantages. 2) Many Wingsuit flyers use pull-outs without issue. 3) "Out of sequence" is only out-of-sequence based off what you determine "in sequence" to be. ie - A pull-out is only an out-of-sequence deployment if you determine the only way to be "in sequence" is to use a throwout. That argument doesn't fly. Pilot chute, then canopy...that's the sequence you need to worry about, regardless of what system you jump...anything else is bad. 4) Jump what you're comfortable with. Collect information from people you trust and make the decision you're comfortable with. After all, it's your ass jumping it, not the people who are giving you the info....

usskydiver 0 #29 April 22, 2004 I also use a Pull-Out. It makes it easier when somone asks to borrow my gear to say "I have a pull-out" and they shudder in horror. Tim T. Team Paraclete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you elaborate a bit more on being able to close your rig with your pin under your last flsp? Thanks BASE 3:16 - Even if you are about to land on a cop - DONT FORGET TO FLARE!

meatbomb 0 #31 April 26, 2004 QuoteCould you elaborate a bit more on being able to close your rig with your pin under your last flsp? I have my rigs made so they can close bottom-top-left-right...I close the first three flaps normally, and then route the pull-up from the top down on the right flap (ie backwards), then put my pull-out pin through the loop, with just the tip showing. This means it is nigh on impossible for the pin to be knocked out, and it is easy to self pin-check, by feeling along the edge of the right flap for the tip of the pin. (As I mentioned before, I'm a control freak!) I will take a photo, and put it on here tonight...--- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
