OK...I'm about to make a skydive in 2 weeks time. I haven't jumped from a plane in 8 months. Can someone point out what that extra handle on my left main lift web is for?

Any help appreciated.



Your left or my left ?

Does that mean you actually have to pack the parachute?
Sounds like an awful lot of work to me.
Plus, I heard them airplane thingies crash and stuff. And then there's the high performance landings, and I've heard that if you have two parachutes they can get tangled together.
I'm sticking to nice, safe parachuting.

Oh, that's what that damn thing is for. And they keep telling us all this weird stuff about reserves and what not.

Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

Never trust your JM's. They are misleading you and trying to get a laugh at your expense.



Wow, really? Damn, and I always thought they were laughing with me;)

I'm not sure what that handle is for, but if you're serious about this skydiving thing, be very careful...Those two parachute rigs are pretty scary...you have to put your canopy in a bag and stuff, it's like, really complicated...

I think I'd rather play it safe with the single shooters...

7 days to go...
...and I've got the gear issues figured out.

But this is 'Kokaneegirl', my JM (jumpmistress)

Should I be worried? *gulp*




Is that her "O" face or what?
