A true risk analysis will never be available since no one knows what the whole community is doing with jump style, jump numbers, jump objects, etc. The dropzones are a relatively controlled environment whereas many sections of base are underground, secret, and solitary.

Isn't there cold water training to alleviate the dramatic effects of exposure to the cold? I recall that there is such biological training when I was trying to plan for participation in an arctic expedition. From what I recall, it retrains the blood system to minimize blood flow to the limbs and concentrate the blood flow to the chest organs.

Yeah no kidding man. What's the timeline breakdown of deaths as a function of country of jumper origin? Aussie's, Americans, Russians, Northwest Europeans, Britons? RIP to those fellow fliers. Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174

When you're low, you're slow. Doing terminal low pulls is by far the most challenging jumps that are possible in my opinion. I was finally able to get a 7.2 second delay at Bridge Day on both of my jumps there last year. I have finally gotten to the point that I can open at around 150 feet from terminal towers (2000 feet). However, it's gotten to the point that I'm having to raise this altitude since it's only a matter of time until I bounce. Speaking of terminal opening slider down, my friend John F. took his already packed skydiving rig to the DZ, back in 1984 or so. Unfortunately, he didn't realize the rig had been packed slider down by Steve Morrell (BASE 175) for a bridge jump. John opened after doing a regular airplane jump with that slider down rig. It blew out a couple cells and jump stayed slumped over all the way to landing. He was too afraid to open the reserve because he realized his body could not take another opening shock, no matter how gentle.

I guess it is because it had been considered an intimate, clandestine, and secretive experience years ago. It feels strange and a little uncomfortable seeing it now in primetime Honda tv commercials with a jumper wearing a business suit.

I helped a master rigger pack a Russian MIG 21 ejection seat rig. The canopy was like a round but it was a single skin square. The instructions required that pharmaceutical grade talcom powder be placed between the canopy folds. Perhaps the riggers' forum would be a good place to inquire about the possibility of using such a canopy in the base environment.
