azdirttorpedo 0 #26 September 27, 2003 I guy at my drop zone was involved in a 3 way horny gorrilla when the pilot chute slipped out of his dolphin. Blew the sidewall out and blew some stitching out of the left lift web. If you're gonna buy a dolphin stay flat with it. My mom does only 2 or 3 jumps a month in her dolphin and it's fine for some recreational small way skydives. If you think you might want to push the envelope someday go with some of the other choices, And don't you think the mirage is sexy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skoodler 0 #30 October 2, 2003 when i first started jumping, i got a dolphin cause it was inexpensive, as did a few others that started in the sport around the same time. just like any rig, you've gotta keep your eyes open and repair any deficiencies. i watched other dolphins have prematures from over stretched BOC spandex, and i watched other dolphins have tangled mains cause steering lines came out in freefall because the velcro was worn out on the riser cover. i personally never had problems because i maintained my rig, getting parts replaced as needed. after i got my A, i started freeflying. people warned me about the dolphin, but i simply took good care of it, and wound up putting about 700 worry-free jumps on it before i chose my colors and went to a custom voodoo. i don't see ANY problem with dolphins, as long as (like any rig) you take care of it. the reason they're inexpensive is cause they're simple, and premade in preset sizes. this way they can mass produce without custom fitting them. i loved mine.
