jumprunner 0 #1 May 24, 2003 After watching it about 20 times, I finally decided to watch it through the credits at the end, lo and behold, Bill Booth was listed there! I had to get that one from someone selling it on EBay, I couldnt find this video anywhere else. Do they make a newer version? Or maybe a DVD version?

jumprunner 0 #7 May 25, 2003 There was another thread on this video in Dec. 2002: Cutaway Poll The video sure talks about RSLs, whether theyre using them or not I dont know. I do know there were backflips being done in high speed mal cutaway. I was thinking about this today, if the RSL operates so quickly that instability (backflips) dont occur, and the reserve is made to open in instability, then why is the Skyhook being introduced? It is being introduced to solve the RSL question from what Ive seen. So there is an RSL question after all? One that dictates the use of a Skyhook? I was just questioning this today while watching that video again. Not trying to challenge anyone and pretty much trust what Billvon says, but there is some descrepancy here, and where there is descrepancy, there is doubt. When there is doubt, the door gets a lot harder to get out of. I keep picturing myself going down trying to clear a horseshoe on the reserve PC. That cant be a good feeling, because it aint a good thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
