JeepDiver 0 #1 March 8, 2006 I have 20 jumps on my new rig and have yet to have any issues arise. The last jump I made, not that I've ever experienced a hard opening but it did seem that this last jump was a bit more brisk than I've noticed in the past. What I experienced upon deployment and opening was a rapid adjustment of body position with my legstraps as I moved into a vertical body position under canopy inflation. It was enough to where I said to myself at the time, damn that hurt a little. My day continued after the jump, landing, etc. and I went on about my business. The last couple days however I've felt like I may have in some way pulled a groin muscle. I had a few pictures taken during the jump and I want to ask those that know more than I. Does the right legstrap look like it is properly positioned during freefall? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimblair13 0 #2 March 8, 2006 Umm...they look super loose to me. But that's just me, maybe. Oh, "ask your instructors". Muah ha haaaaaaa! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ntrprnr 0 #3 March 8, 2006 I saw those photos and my first thought was also - damn, those leg straps look loose... If mine were that loose, I'd be tasting chest strap when I opened. Did you notice the rig rise up on you upon opening? (Moreso than normal, I obviously mean)_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

marks 0 #4 March 8, 2006 I don't think they look loose, they just rode down your leg a little... you got a butt bungie on those leg straps? if not, get one, they help alot.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 2 #5 March 8, 2006 The bungee idea is a good one, but I also think they look pretty loose. I think if he has a particularly "brisk" opening, he'll have purple thighs (or balls) for a few days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superman0710 0 #6 March 9, 2006 hey tom, a butt bungee would probably help with that. maybe talk to fred, greg, or glenn about it.
