Yossarian 0 #1 January 12, 2006 has anybody ever seen one of these? ive heard stories but no confirmations about what they do if u get an unconcious student hung up, something about the instructor attaching himself to the static line, sliding down errol flynn style with a knife in their teeth (well not necessarily but its a cool image), grabbing the students reserve handle and cutting the line, is this true?

piisfish 140 #2 January 12, 2006 a hangup like this ?? http://www.parastef.ch/Rega.pdf it was in 1980 (sep28), and the guy who cutaway the student was an instructor... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yossarian 0 #3 January 12, 2006 strangely enough that looks like the best way to deal with that one... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #4 January 12, 2006 Airtwardo posted a first hand account of an occasion when he had to slide down a static line back in the 70's. Look here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=793766#793766 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Floats18 0 #5 January 12, 2006 Its amazing they could chase the student with the helocopter safely- Good think that plane was a porter and you can fly it standing still... That baby could take off w/ a desk fan blowing in its general direction!--- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
