Perfectly Good Parachutes?

Recommended Posts

I remember back in the 80's the whuffos would always say " you jump out of perfectly good airplanes?"

Or
"what do you do if the parachute doen't open?"

After reading ANOTHER year of skydivers mostly dying from crashing under perfectly good parachutes I wonder what the modern day whuffos will ask?

" You fly perfectly good parachutes?"

Or

" What do you do when the perfectly good parachute opens and you suffer fatal injuries from a hard landing after a low turn?"


The standard answer for the " what do you do if the parachute doesn't open" question used to be no problem. You open the reserve and land.

What do we tell them now?

When the trend of seriouse injuries while screwing up a high performance landing first started some of the old farts used to say ......

"Who says skydivers are stupid we invented a whole new way to kill ourselves"

R.I.P.
