Slider Down Deployment?

Recommended Posts

I'd be interested to hear any worthwhile observations on the following:

I was wondering if it is possible to deploy a high performance canopy slider down on a hop n pop (possibly using a BASE style "tail gate") so a bullet cam could be attached high up the lines?

I have no interest in becoming a test pilot so has anybody tried it or seen it done? If so what were the results and what were stresses like on canopy and pilot?

It is possible, and has been done a couple times at Bridge Day. You really should not do that out of a plane though. To much airspeed, and will likely hurt, and possibly damage your canopy. A camera has been packed into canopies before, so if you are looking to get that angle, it is possible. Simply mount (tie) the camera one at a line attachement point above the slider. The canopy will open fine, and if you attachedd the camera well, it will survive and get the shot. Good luck.
