Really damn short. [:/]


Or maybe I should say ... "Just long enough that I'm here to post this." :D

Not sure how long mine was. I have only had 1. That was my 32nd jump and it was a pilot chute in tow. I know from people that saw I had pulled my reserve a little below 1000 so I would imagine it wasn't that long but I was to pumped with adrenaline to really remember.
Oh yeah and what video is that? Is it on skydivingmovies.com?
I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I"m not exactly sure, time dilation and all.;)

However my protrack said I was in the saddle at 700 feet. So that's what, 10 seconds or so to landing?



Probably more. I saddled in at 400-450' several years ago and got a 15 second canopy ride.

Hmm. didn't time it but iswas from nromal deployment alt.


I had a horseshoe at 4,500ft agl.cutaway and was in the saddle by 1700ft agl.

I didnt do any radical turns or anything so it may have been longer than a normal ride.

EDIT:
actually it was more like 3000ft deploy and 1600ft in saddle under reserve.

that would be around 20 seconds, or else you have a damn small/highly loaded reserve.. Mine is a PD143 loaded around 1.3
