jasonRose 0 #26 January 5, 2006 2 Audibles...... So you have stereo... I like the audible, it lets me know it's time to clear air and pull. I like mechanical, that way I know how much time I have to complete whatever I am doing in the sky before pull time. I like my eyes, because if that ground is getting big fast I better get some fabric out!! I like my Cypress, just in case all of the above fail it will let me know that I have been a complete dumb ass and realy need to evaluate why I am in the sky. I know this isn't what the question asks but I think all of the above are aids to keep you alive and the more you have the better! Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!

katzurki 0 #28 January 7, 2006 Um, me?Jump #13 no less! Altimeter got stuck. 5th jump of the day, AFF #7 completed the day before. I clearly remember thinking, "Okay, I must be a really experienced skydiver now. My senses are no longer overwhelmed, and no longer does the freefall seem to last only a few seconds. Look, I am still falling (check alti), wow, whole 6k, and falling (check alti) wow, a whole lot of altitude... um, no... um, farms are starting to look big... um, I'll pull..." So I do, and then so does the (student) Cypres. Which was a two-pin in a one-pin rig, talk about an expensive jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #29 January 7, 2006 QuoteFor me and my peers it's analog/ barometric. Even the electronic gizmos are barometric. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
