mmatute 0 #9 February 28, 2005 Hold on a sec. What is "-4 at altitude" (I'm spanish) That means it was -4ºC at 13.000 ft? Last saturday, in Huesca (Spain) we jumped at -25ºC (13.000ft). That was too hard. First jump, when we landed, my fingers were freeze and I had to shake them before picking parachute up. The video cam guy couldn't take her helmet off for continuing recording the tandem. We jumped three times. :-) Regards Mariano. www.velocidadvertical.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slappie 9 #11 February 28, 2005 Since he's jumping in the US I believe he meant it was -4ºF at 13,000 ft. Just guessing though. mmatute, sounds like you Spaniards are insane too!

flyingferret 0 #13 February 28, 2005 Hard core. Back in December we jumped in Texas with snow on the ground and 9 degrees on the ground. Have no idea how cold it was up there, plus wind. I made one jump and stopped. It was cold to the point that I was worried about emergency procedures if I had to. Won't do it again. Live to jump another day.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
