    EMT-T /combat medic. I just think that the emotional strain on skydivers losing friends can be reduced through education.

    ATTN skydivers: you cannot resuscitate someone who has hit an object with high force. high speed impact+no pulse = death. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) will not help.

    I will be jumping the week of the 23rd-28th. If you can't find anyone to jump with I can jump with you. Perris is an amazing DZ.

    Would you "pro" pack a BASE canopy in a skydiving rig the same way you would pack a skydiving canopy or is there a different way you have to pack it ? Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

    I thought I had AFF down. Failed level 4 TWICE. Needless to say that was expensive. So I sucked it up and did some tunnel time. Helped ALOT.

    Welcome. Don't worry about the canopy it will be more then big enough for you to have a soft landing unless you do something crazy. ENJOY !!

    But Sparky, that was when I weighed 210 Lbs of pure asshole. I lost 40 Lbs. Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

    The license is a USPA license, same anywhere in the U.S.. It would be better for you if you could get somewhere with a wind tunnel. Tunnel time is very helpful. Welcome ! It's sooo freakin fuuuuuun.

    Jealousy is the path to the dark side. Jealousy leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you. Much to learn, you still have.

    I don't think it would kill me...Unless it was a double mal... i have jumped at 1.21 no problem. Its just a .12 diff. Is 1.33 really that hardcore ? I'm being sincere because i have heard that that's a beginner wingload? Am I getting bad advise ?
