Santas little helpers (FedEx) have brought my New Years present to me today: MY FIRST CANOPY. Whoohooo! BEEEEEEEER! It's a Triathlon 160. I've got a bit of downsizing to do, so I can't jump it for another 4-5 months, but I truly believe that I will be perfectly safe under it as long as I don't do anything too stupid, and my instructors and DZO think so too.

It's got about 200 jumps on it and is in perfect condition. It has had the breakline update done. DOM is March 07, 2001. I'll try to get in-flight photos when I can, but the season is over here, so not for a while. And yes, two of the cells are pink:P

The label has the exit weight and the canopy size mixed up. Weird, eh?

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.

Hrm. 208sqft, 160 max weight? Sounds like an old schoolbus that's about to break down... Hrm... Perhaps you're right ;)

I can't read the label well enough to see the numbers. If you're worried, I'd have a rigger look at it before jumping it.

Oh, and have fun. :P

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey
