livendive 8 #26 March 22, 2006 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteOn my very first winter jump I was terrified that my fingers would be too frozen to, deploy my pilot chute. Perhaps may seem illogical now, but at the time, it was a real concern. I know a gal who thought that one time, at about 3000 feet ... so she went straight to her reserve. Without even trying her main first? Yup! IIRC, it was her fifth reserve ride in ~180 jumps. Edit to add: She has since decided to explore other recreational activities.
