I would just add that hackey and monkey fist can also have a tuck tab on them to make them more secure for freefly.

Kind of like Ramadan? Wendy P.

He's known for a much better quote" think of how stupid the average person is and then realize half of them are even stupider.' that fits 2020 very well.

Trump: "I want to see Biden in prison"! Biden: "Why does Trump think I would visit him in prison"?

The part about the chest strap not cinching down as far is because the yoke is smaller and/or the laterals are shorter. As a result, the Main Lift Web end up farther out on your chest & shoulders. Make sure the MLW are properly on your shoulders, and then basically get used to it. It's entirely possible the yoke & lats on the rental gear were too big for you and this one is sized correctly. B-12 snap connectors on the leg straps are 'old school'. Not too many folks have them today, but there are some. They make putting on and taking off somewhat easier, especially for those of us that are getting older and 'less bendy'. While there is a possibility of them coming loose, it's not common. Make sure they are attached correctly, make sure they are functioning correctly, do your 'three checks of threes' and include a check of them when you check your leg straps. Personally, I'd have no problems jumping a rig with them (provided they are in good shape and work like they should).

There are more details in the video description. She landed safely.

Now that's a coincidence! I haven't been on this website in ages and today I get on it and the first thing I see is my name. Long story here, but I'll keep it short. In 1982 I was transferred with FedEx from Atlanta to Knoxville, Tennessee to work as a ramp agent. Knoxville's not exactly the skydiving capital of the world, and moving to Knoxville put it four hours farther away from Z-Hills and Deland. Shortly after moving here I went back to grad school (for all the years it took my wife and I began to call it "gradual school") and I eventually got my Master's and Ph.D. in forensic anthropology, started my own company working with law enforcement, medical examiners, and coroners to identify human skeletal remains, and have been with it ever since. Between being farther away from the big boogies, the pressure of grad school, and running my own company something had to give, and it was skydiving, unfortunately. The last jump I made (just short of 1000) was in 1996 at my 30-year class reunion. I was in Pennsylvania a few years ago working on some unidentified remains and stopped by a drop zone just after Dave DeWolfe made several jumps on his 80th birthday. We had a great time reliving the glory days of The Herd, Soss, Whale, the Herd t-shirts photos, the funny stuff that happened (on the Herd's loudspeaker one day at the Turkey Meet they called out "Sunday, Sunday, see Hooper stuff flaming nitrous bottles up his ass and ride to 12-5 without a ticket! Sunday, Sunday!"), stuff Carbone used to pull, and lots of other stuff I can't remember. I still have a photo of Dave at the Herd Boogie one year walking around in a cardboard box buck naked. If you donated to The Herd, he would pull a string that raised a little cutout door in the front of the box, displaying Dave in all his naked glory. Nobody but Dave! I really miss the skydiving days, but at this point in life I'm too old and brittle to pick it up again.
