Extrapolating from recent nationals-winning 10-way speeds, I reckon that would be possible with a pass at 60,000ft, if all 180 jumpers were of Airspeed/Majik/GK skill level.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob.dino 1 #54 March 21, 2005 Trying to match levels with your opposite 55m away could be difficult . In my limited experience, stars get exponentially more difficult as the number of folk grows. (Assuming each person takes 1m of space, 180 people gives a circle diameter of 57m). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've done 120 way wacker transitions, and come within a grip of a 120 way round as a second point. And that was only from 16K. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It worked for the 10-way speed stars out of the 727 at Quincy. (Well, sorta.) You might have to give the last guy out a good helmet though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
