turtlespeed 226 #2 May 12, 2004 Video cameras - Oh - Wait. I was thinking the other day of how to devise a headset that is a noise deucer with enough reduction to be able to communicate in freefall.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brains 2 #7 May 12, 2004 QuoteNever seen it - Pilots use them to take out engine noise and background noise and still be able to talk to control etc. Skeet shooters, etc. use them to muffle the muzzleblast and still be able to talk to each other without having to take them off. I'm sure the tech could be used in skydiving for instructors to talk to students in freefall to give corrections. Hmmmmmm, turtle i think we just found our money making idea. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #8 May 12, 2004 QuoteHow about light weight body armor? Ever seen any of the pro-swoopers? My bet, (which is a crosspost) a more advanced canopy design with ability to climb short distances... there is already such a thing in development - called the R.A.G.E. by paratec - the mpeg's I have of it made me think it was a con, but it's real.

Not many I would imagine. Design one to pack a suitcase, or even pack your lunch but when it comes to a rig ?Gerb I stir feelings in others they themselves don't understand. KA'CHOW !

AggieDave 6 #16 May 12, 2004 Quote Ooh-ooh!!! Or sychronized skydiving set to music in the people's helmets! I used to jump with a MP3 player a couple years ago. Do you know how fucking loud it has to be, even inside your helmet, to really hear it in freefall? I figured it was cool, but probably not too good for my hearing and stopped.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

gremlin 0 #18 May 12, 2004 I like the idea of a comms system so when someone funnels your dive you can let them know exactly what you are thinking before you even land. that way they can land off and let you calm down.
