I need a frap hat

Recommended Posts

Why?
My frap hat is nowadays just a nice leather bag for my alti and stuff.
Wanna see how much protection they offer?
Put one on and go bash your haed against a wall, now try the same (after you recover ) with a hard helmet......

Amen brother. Protectus non grata. Frap haps make a nice fashion statement (or not), but they provide shite for protection. More dead skydivers agree, it would've been nice to have a hard helmet.

Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy.
First it was the Noid thing, now this! When will you stop jumping with funny-looking stuff on your head? As your loving friend, it's time for me to step in and say,
"Look---Up in the sky! It's a bird.....it's a plane.....it's the Noid!
No......IT'S.....
...CONDOM HEAD!!!"
xoxo,

Hey Jeremy.....I'd think that you'd be looking for a little more protection, especially after that plane incident a few weeks back.

Dude, the "plane" incident was nothing! (everyone walked away from that one). Ask him about the "Broken Pelvis" incident!!;)

How old and skanky would you like it to be? I have one that I bought new over 15 years ago that has the entire front leather rotten off of it. I sometimes pull little strips off and chew on it, like beef jerkey. No amount of zig-zagging will close the gap now, so it sort of inflates in freefall; very stylish. Anyway, I still wear it on occasion for when I want to swoop sans headgear. I also wear a "meat helmet" when jumping with the demo team. Here, it is SOP that our tandem passengers wear a frap hat and we are required to wear a helmet at least one degree safer; my mindwarp fits the bill for that.
