    Airlocks ?

    towerrat replied to BMFin's topic in Gear and Rigging

    I see no cons except minimal pack volume increase.It may also give a false sense of security to some pilots.I love my airlocked canopy so far, although I've only had it a few weeks. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    QuoteI've always wondered though, if sitflying in a RW suit is easier or harder than in just baggy street clothes[*** I only sit in my rw suit. I just tuck the booties under and go with it. It works like a champ as I've got extra fabric on my arms ( fat boy suit ) Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    Post: It dont matter if you get 200 skydives in two years or two months. You will still have 200 jumps worth of experience Quote I totally disagree. Time in sport means alot. I have learned just as much standing around the fire or listening to our bartender as I have in the air.I know a guy who came out and did a shit load of jumps in a very short time, blew his wad so to speak.He never took the time to listen to people around him, he just thought his jump numbers should speak for themselves.I promise you they don't.

    maybe there has been a problem with the e-mail system. I don't know but jeez don't be so harsh.Nobody wants to be nasty for sure but I certainly hope you would explore all of your options before things come to a head. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    ***How do you know whether I called them or not? Just because I didn’t put it here?. Quote seems you are mighty defensive.... so did you call? Just for the record, I have no personal stock in Sunrise rigging Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    quite possibly you got the wrong e-mail address? I would double check if I were you. I happen to know the customer service rep quite well, and she takes pride in her work.Before I slammed her in a public forum I would find out all of the facts. Perhaps a phone call could have cleared things up? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    do they often catch stupidity? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    seems like a good way to prevent a lot of bad things. Also seems like a way for a lot of people to become complacent. I could also see DZO's bitching about boarding times. I personally wouldn't mind it as those in my little group generally watch out for each other. And yes, that misrouted chest has been caught ( wasn't mine ). Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    No, probably not..... I was just stirring up crap Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    so who is responsible if the person doing the flightline check doesn't see my misrouted chest strap, signs me off as clear to jump and I come out of my harness upon deployement? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    I dump regularly between 2 and 2.5 k. If I had a significant problem it would eat up at least 2 or 3 seconds. any longer and we're talkin a thousand feet. I have found myself at approx. 1700 and dumped my main.I must agree with Wendy that it is a hard habit to break.You have trained your muscles and brain to throw your main.
