    You are the type of person that condescending was invented for. The person with 2 cutaways in under a 100 jumps needs to practice packing more and learn how to prevent malfunctions. People have read your post and told you what they think. It comes down to the fact you are in over your head and won’t admit it. At your experience level you should asking questions instead of giving advice. You have gotten responses from people with thousands of jumps and decades in the sport but you insist on arguing. As Will Rogers said, “you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Any improvement in you landing was just in your head. Rapid short inputs like in the video will screw up the canopy balance but they are too quick help the canopy during flair. Or anything else for the matter. I think if contact the flyer in the video he will tell he was styl’in for the camera. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    And how many canopies were sold with stains of undetermined origin on them? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I know it was not a Racer. I was on a load with Jeannie the week before and she had the same problem. She ended up less than 1,000 ft. before she deployed the reserve. It was a Security rig with a behind the back type of deployment. It was fairly new on the market and I seem to remember she was either selling them or sponsored by them.

    And when I wouldn’t ship you a rig without getting paid you wait several months and jump my shit on a public forum. But maybe that’s just me. Sparky Way to take things out of context Sparky. And for the record - I have never requested for you to ship me anything w/o getting paid. And the communication you are referring to is from December 2006. What ever you say.

    I could make a "mistake" while doing a brake job on my car. Does that make me any less liable if I run over your child because of that mistake? My point is riggers should be up to date on all the gear they are dealing with, and an oversight such as NOT routing the reserve closing loop inside the cutter is just plain negligence And you are full of shit. Being "up to date" on gear does not prevent mistakes. Making mistakes while tying your shoes or packing a reserve does not constitute negligence. Before you start throwing around words like “libel” and “negligence” on an open forum maybe you should find out what in fact happened. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Gary, Let it go as far as DZ.com is concerned. Take your business back to normal business channels. Arguing on the internet is a waste of time. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    You sure over complicate things. As for learning things, I spent over 20 years in testing and development of parachutes and parachute systems. While I am a long way from having learned it all I do have a fair understanding of the topic at hand. You keep poking but there comes a time where a real live person must go in the air and see if the engineers and your theoretical framework have it right and wrong. You can call it trial and error or anything else you want but that’s the way it works in the real world. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Now take you little experiment and do it a 120 mph attached to an inflated airfoil that will fly in the same direction as the twists. Maybe. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
