Thanks for the update Tom. It sounds like a blast. I'm sure many people here wish we were there also. Have a great New Years and be safe on the demo. C-ya Tim My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

It's ok if it gets wet. THe ZP nylon the Lines and the stitches will all be fine. It's nylon so it's not going to shrink. It's also very clean if it snow. If it gets wet, just air it out. Water won't hurt it. Even if it gets muddy a little it will be fine. My stiletto 97 was completely submerged in our pond one day when I became Pond Scum #1 (for that drop zone) there were no noticeable affects at all. I flew it wet 3 more times that day then aired it out at home. The same parachute has about 1500 more jumps on it for a total of about 3000. It has since never been submerged but has been very wet many times. Your parachute will be ok. have fun. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

[reply? The cameraman would've been hit by the bag only... Hardly enough to kill IMO. The bag, the lines of the parachute as it inflates right next to him. Then the body of the jumper. But this was staged and staged well I might add. I can hardly wait till we know how it was really done. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -
All I know is he didn't die. I talked to Mike after I unexpectedly videod a fatality. Mike debated long and hard about putting that in his video. He finally felt it would/could do people some good to realize that shit can get serious real fast. I admire the fact he was willing to put it in there. He would never include anything that resulted in death. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Wouldn't it be an even better idea to do both? Of course that's the best way. Unfortunately it's not always an option. I'd love to go off about this but since there is a question about Bridge day. You can look here http://www.bridgeday.info/ if you want to ask direct questions click on the *Contact Us* tab fill it out and ask away. I think Jason Bell is the right person to ask the most questions to. Keep in Mind he May be leaping off Petronas right now so the it may take a week or 2 to get a response. Good Luck My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

...Did you have to climb? or did you have the luxury of an Elevator?.... Balloons and helicopters are pretty similar, but the ballon is nice a quiet. And the basket kinda moves around when you climb out. The lack of air and noise is awsome especially doing a 2 way cuz you can talk for a few seconds. Also a balloon jump, you don't always get to pick your landing zone which adds to the excitement. You don't get the falling sensation like on a roller coaster. The roller coaster will descend faster than you and pull you down. That's why you feel like you're falling. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Main closing loop material & Type IIA sheathing strength
hookitt replied to pchapman's topic in Gear and Rigging
You are correct with 225. It's plenty strong for a Main. Perform the obvious Maintainance by replacing it as needed. I use cypres loops on all reserves. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -
That's a pretty general question. Why do you ask? The reserve system on a Rigging Innovations Product is just fine. Your Profile says you have 20 jumps. Are you looking to purchase something? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
