My favorite was the time a student cutaway and her boyfriend came into the packing area and started yelling at us. She came in with the instructor and she chopped a perfectly good canopy because she thought the slider should have came down further. Winds on jump run ~12mph. About the time we jumped they kicked up to about 25. 20-jump wonder is over the peas heading into the wind, and finds himself slowly backing up away from the peas. He has open field for a half mile behind him. At about 1500' he chops and goes to his reserve. Why? Because he was worried about the wind pushing him too far away from the target, so he chopped to get down sooner. When we heard his reason for chopping, we notified the nearest AFFI. After talking to him earnestly earnestly for about ten minutes, I saw the AFFI walking away slowly shaking his head."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

diablopilot 2 #27 March 28, 2007 QuoteOk, so at the dropzone I was training at I overheard one of the riggers say she had packed 60 rigs(These were tandem rigs) that day. How much money does that translate to? and how much can a rigger expect to make on an average weekend? Most places about $600---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
