Kirils 1 #1 April 24, 2002 My wife recently purchased a Tear Drop container mfg 1993.It's a beautiful rig, but I don't see indication of it being TSO'd.Does any know about older Tear Drops and if they can be jumped in the USA?Thanks!Skydiving is not a static excercise with discrete predictability...

Remster 30 #2 April 25, 2002 try getting a hold of Thomas Sporthttp://www.thomas-sports.com/As far a the newish reg for the US, If a foreign jumper is jumping non-TSOed gear in the US, then the foreing jumper's home contry regs would apply (so if that rig is OK in your contry then its OK). If a foreign jumper jumps a TSOed rig in the US, then US regs apply.I dont know what the implications are if the rig is TSOed and the reserve not, or vice versa....If you're a US jumper, you need TSOed equipment.RemsterMuff 914 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #3 April 25, 2002 I jump a Teardrop SF now, and I think (but am not 100% sure) that it is TSO'd. I know my one currently is. Get hold of Chris Thomas and speak to him. Danger could be my middle name. But it's Paul. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #5 April 25, 2002 Early Teardrops were not TSO'd. The last few Teardrop Superflies that I repacked had "TSO" written on the label.When in doubt, American DZOs will enforce American regulations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
