AnotherGoodin 0 #1 December 14, 2004 After every jump I notice they come out and a rigger always uses this packing paddle/stick thing to tuck them back in. I have had 3 different people do this. My reserve is in date. I can't figure out why they keep comming out and now in comes so far out sometimes that the metal link on either saide showes. Any thoughts?If life gives you lemons then make lemonade, if not then go thirsty and keep on truckin' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larsrulz 0 #2 December 14, 2004 Be sure to pick up your rig with both shoulder straps for one thing. I'm no rigger, but from the rigging help I have done, it is sometimes difficult to get the reserve risers to stay tight so the slack is allowed to work its way out of the container, although my rigger taught me a nice little trick once I get my ticket! Unless it is coming out far enough to easily get snagged, it isn't something that requires a repack. Be sure to mention it to your rigger during your next repack, and if your rigger is extra nice, he might pop it open and tighten up the risers for you before hand, but don't expect that. I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #3 December 14, 2004 Talk to your rigger about reclosing the container. If you can see the metal link at all that is WAY too far and needs to be reclosed properly.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuckbrown 0 #5 December 14, 2004 Is that Bryan Scott's watermark on your avatar?!?!? C'mon, spring for the money to get the file without one. Or better yet, just smile at Bryan and get it for free. BTW, I too got my avatar for free off the internet but it's not nearly as cool as yours. C'ya @ CSS in the spring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #6 December 14, 2004 Amanda, They shouldn't be moving much at all. Make sure you aren't picking the rig up by the reserve risers. If you not sure have the rigger show you what's what.I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
