What's wrong with this picture?

Recommended Posts

For those of you who have the current Parachutist magazine already, turn to the story on the PJ's. This may be too specific for most but I know we have some MFF folks out there. The first picture in the article shows a jumper kitted up with a O2 mask on.
The test is to ID all the deficiencies the jumper has. Bonus points if you can correctly name the deficiencies and explain what/why it is wrong. You have 1 minute to inspect one jumper, your time will begin when you turn and face the jumper. Do you have any questions?:D

Page 34 of the Aug issue and even if your not familiar with MFF gear there is at least 2 of the 10 +/- deficiencies that an average skydiver should be able to see.

Scott no offence but there are three defficiencies:

1) his jump suit is not fashionable and will be hard to find if he has an injury on an off landing

2) he has a gun - I keep my gun in the car as to not endanger my fellow skydivers in free fall. After the beer light goes on it's a different story;)

3) He has to jump for a living. I live for jumping.

Is he gonna freefall with an alice pack down at his legs?

What about the urination hose attached to his helmet? Or, does that tube go up his ass?

And, all them patches he's got stuck to his bdu's--That's just gay.

That rifle looks real secure too. I also like the magazine in the gun. Wait a minute, this guy is airfarce. They have M4s? Outside the plastic wrapper? Get out of town!!!

The dangly straps and webbing are really cool touches.

so, now my guesses as to what's wrong with the picture:
1) He stole LouDiamond's helmet.
2)Those ball things on the counter behind him are anti-gravity devices that won't even be invented for 30 more years.

Hook has got two of them so far. Jumping in BDUS is perfectly normal though a jumpsuit is prefered. The list continues, anyone else?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

No comm, O2 hose not plugged in, weapon under container belly band, no altimeter, no jumpsuit, no gloves, part of his ruck hanging off his right side, it appears there might be a clip in the weapon.
