Just gotta add this... then I'm out... Regardless of finding the handle during a PRCT, shadowing the students hand to the handle is important for various reasons. If the student misses the handle or grabs something else, (students can be very creative ) your hand is already there to place on his. If he attempts to front loop, then the instructor is in position to reach under the chest and and stop the frontloop. With out shadowing, the student can frontloop right past our reach, which makes for a very eventful many seconds after ward. If the student does not go for the handle at all, The instructor should grab the wrist and start guiding it to the handle.

I sure hope you got to jump off that. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

The instructor should attempt to guide the hand If at all possible. If the instructor doesn't deem it possibe then he's gotta do what he's gotta do. With out being there, or seeing good video, It's impossible to answer this informatively. We only have one side of the story. Signals are universal (with a couple exeptions) So that shouldn't matter. This indicates you were passing through wave off an pull altitude with out your knowledge. The pull signal was given... At that point attempting to place the student's hand on the ripcord would have been appropriate. If resistance occured The instructor must overcome the resistance. If resistance is not over come, he must eventually give up and just dump the student out so he can save his own ass. It's normal to jump with different instructors.. You passed Level one, Blow it off man. Practice what you know over and over till you know it inside and out. When you train for level 2, only a few other Maneavers will need to be learned on top of what you already know. Just move on. Welcome to skydiving!

Hey that's pretty cool. Thanks.. I'm one of those guys who didn't know about it. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

AH!!! F.A.S.T. (Fully Articulated Suspension Technology) Is uppers and lowers. Just lowers is Articulated. Just order lower rings and get the MultiFlex type leg pads. You'll be golden. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Get the Multi Flex. Edit: It's This Harness. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

90%??? Interesting. Both will with stand the shock. One of my rigs has em. One doesn't. Non-reinforced type 17 risers were the risers that had strenth issues. What exacerbated that was the use of thin RW7 rings. RW8 or the equivelent is used now. Search some BASE sites You many find more standard risers than you think. Also, with that same mindset. WELL Over 90% of skydivers use Standard Risers. (either type 8 or type 17). Riser breakage is extremely uncommon. RichM was kind enough to look This up for us. To answer the originator of this thread, Reverse risers have been one part of a Hard cutaway situation in Numerous occasions. (not all of them so no need to flame that sentence.... unless you just feel like it) They work... and they don't work. I can't possibly recommend them with all the data available.

Lots do use integrity risers.....Big phat type8 Risers And the last time I checked, Cutting away a spinning mal was a bad choice on a BASE rig. Not applicable to this thread My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Who would do such a thing. Nice one ferrit. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Yes! take the picture and post it (no explaination)! You'll get a serious rise out of the Crowd Thanks again My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Thanks, that took a while to figure out how to reduce the size. I just installed photo shop but didn't know how to capture a screen shot. Here it is My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I can capture the screenshot...but can't save it as a jpeg. Any suggestions? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Please do, I'm too lazy to find it when I get home. I see you're getting a little help researching the gun control issue. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

You have no reason at all to like me though My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I plan to get a new main in the rediculously small high wingloaded range. I'm not interested in the Crossfire2 I'd like to hear some thoughts from those who fly HP canopies. Thanks for your input. hookitt My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Do a search on integrity risers or reverse risers. You can find much debate, and facts about integrity risers. Read the last line. Here's a post that I stole from Here A few highlights: "In October 2001, the Javelin harness/container was retested in accordance with AS-8015B and is approved under TSO C-23d for: a maximum operating weight of 300 lbs and a maximum operating speed of 170 knots (198 mph or 330 kph)" The instructions for velcro-less toggles show leaving the excess steering line flapping in the breeze. "Cock the Kill Line Pilot Chute before placing the canopy in the main bag!" "SUN PATH HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THE "PRO PACK" FOR ALL RAM-AIR RESERVES PACKED INTO THE JAVELIN HARNESS/CONTAINER SYSTEM." "Suggested loop length for cypres [loop] closing after setting & stretching to be 2 1/8" " 5 pages covering the 3-ring operation and maintenance. "Sun Path does not recommend the use of "Reverse Risers" on Javelin Harness and Containers" ] My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Hmmm... I got something...but the pics are too big. This might take a while... My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Yup yup... Any way, reserves galore await, have a good night. C-ya My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I really don't find them to be that much smaller. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

huh huh ... she said coq My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

No can do! Tonight I'm using a very firewalled connection. Guess I'll have to go do some work Have fun My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

What exactly makes PDR more reliable than Tempo ? He likes the way it flies. I don't think he said it wasn't reliable. I'm not a big Tempo fan either and would'nt have one as my reserve, however I have one jump on one falling about 130mph, opened just fine. It was fast, on heading. It flew fine. The inspection showed nothing out of the ordinary. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
