Streamers

Recommended Posts

I bought a pair of streamers for demos, haven't even seen 'em yet. They're in a waist pouch and look to be nylon about 20 feet long. They would definitely look very cool behind a wingsuit but I have never heard of this being done. Obviously there is a potential for entanglement. Anyone have any knowledge here?

On the Hercules Boogie there where a couple of jumps that started out with streamers (the plastic red/white construction line) and seeing those things turn into a thousand tiny pieces that scream by the cameraflyer was certainly fun :)

No entanglement danger there, since they turned to crap and where gone around opening altitude :)

Do you mean like THIS and THIS?


My advice on this is to use something that breaks/tears away easy. I used plastic ribbon that tears really easy. Also the longer you make it, the more it will wildly fly around. I had a pretty long piece on my right foot that eventualy tore itself due to that. Like everything else have a plan, practice it on the ground first then give it a go.
