encinoadam 0 #1 October 27, 2002 I'm researching (cutaway) pull force on mini-risers versus standard risers. I remember there being an article in Parachutist or Skydiving about this about six months ago (about). Does anyone recall which issue it was in? Also, I have heard that standard risers reduce the load by 100-fold, in other words, a 1,000 pound load requires a 10 pound pull. Is this true? Lastly, how much more pull force is required on minis? Thanks for any info! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 October 27, 2002 If you do a search, Bill Booth has posted some really good information about this a while back (especially since he's the one that invented the 3-ring system).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

PhreeZone 20 #3 October 27, 2002 Its not mini risers, but mini rings that increase the pull force required due to the mechanical advantange being lower. http://www.relativeworkshop.com/technical/tech_risers.html There is a link to pull forces there from the inventors of the 3 rings. http://www.jumpshack.com/default.asp?CategoryID=TECH&PageID=3RING&SortBy=TITLE_A Here is an article from Jump ahack on the light math behind the construction of 3 rings.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
