gus 1 #3 July 5, 2004 QuoteOne comment, who are you? Steady on Sparky, we don't need to be that unfriendly. Spirit, people are suspicious of users with no real info in their profile. If you fill yours in (click here) you'll get much more responses. What is your post saying, that the Cypres fired on the ground? Wasn't there a case of this at the recent world record where someone landed close to some source of radiation? Is that a possibility?

And didn't have the 4-year or 8-year maint done so the additional shielding wasn't installed. Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You take any modern sport container, stand on the ground and pull the reserve. The bag will not come out of the container. Do the same thing at 120 mph and it will be a different story. I am not sure what you mean by "multifictional". If you mean malfunction, you need to understand the team before using it. Is that better Gus?

FeFe 0 #6 July 5, 2004 First. Anonymous posts like this are bad for our sport. Whoever you Mr.Spirit are, please know that to bring to this forum the worst Russian skydiving discussion boards practices of speculating on rumors and incorrect information is it is a very bad idea and it is not appreciated. We are not yellow press. Second. As one of the event organisers, I can only confirm that yes Mirage mal took place. Nobody was injured. It is unclear what caused the mal. Yes this mal raises some serious questions. The manufacturer is informed. I am sure either the manufacturer or the team involved will inform the skydiving public about the details of the accident and the results of the investigation ASAP. I suggest to avoid any speculation until then. Fyodor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewmonst 0 #7 July 5, 2004 Sounds like a Cypres misfire, not a Mirage problem. and what do you mean by QuoteMirage G4, reserve container multifictional in the title??? and then what do you mean by QuoteMirage G4, reserve container multifuctional in the post??? when i first read it, it sounds like you are implying a Mirage malfunction... is that the word you meant? peace lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hooknswoop 19 #9 July 5, 2004 Quote Reserve container open after landing, Cypres cut the loop... Had the maint been done to the Cypres? Did the jumper land near a radiation source? (radio, radar, etc) Are you sure the Cypres cut the loop and not a sharp-edged grommet? Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badlock 0 #14 July 6, 2004 QuoteWhat does Mirage have to do with anything? I've understood the post as following: The jumper pulled low, Cypres fired during canopy inflation, but the container didn't open. Finally, the reserve pc popped out after the jumper had landed. I'am right? Don't be a Lutz! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
