    Just a few comments on the first 2 pages of this dribble. hallux What about the “rights” of the people who have been killed by enlightened swoopers? Tolgak Your ignorance of how your gear works is showing. And there was a time in this sport where thousands of low pull happened every weekend. Andy_Copland And I guess you think you are cool and on the edge? captain1976 Tell that to Terry Ward, Doyle Talbot and some the other So. Cal. Jumpers from the era. jtnesbitt Like most posting here you didn’t into jumping until after it became a “recreation” It used to be a sport. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Again, good on you Gary. If only more people involved in selling gear and such would take the long term view both the seller and buyer would be better off. It's a little like making jumps with the newer jumpers and not making them pay for it. What goes around comes around. That is a saying from the 70's, but was usually referring to something else. I wish you luck and prosperity in you ventures. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Sparky-- What a great compliment. Thanks! Do you mind if I quote you? Hoop Not at all, I would be honored! Sparky P. S. I got my new copy of your book and the plate looks great in it. Thank you. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    people die every day in tragic events, if a parent dies in the pursuit of something they love it is sad but that does not constitute a tragedy in my opinion... and two the daughter has a mother, she is not a little orphan Anny. There is a pretty good rebuttal to your “opinion”, having something to do with responsibility but my guess is it would fall on deaf ears. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Now that’s a scary picture. Skydivers in the Ritz. And they are skydivers from the 60's/70’s, the worst variant of the species. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    That particular sports association would be better identified if they changed their name to “Drop Zone Owners Promotional Association and Benefit Fund”. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Hell that is only 40 lb. more than the test weight and 90 lb. above MAXIMUM OPERATING WEIGHT. What could possibly go wrong? Sparky bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz his MAIN WL is 2.4 (look at his profile). His reserve WL is a bit less. I have landed a PDR106 at 2.1, and would prefer not to make it a daily occurence. That is still undeer the weight that the canopy was tested at. And having landed is at the WL does not make it the smart thing to do. It just means you were lucky one time.

    Do you know how small a PDR 143 is? If you are more than 150 lb. out the door it is probably not the reserve for you right now. http://www.performancedesigns.com/products.asp?product=pr Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    When I would travel with a rig I would just wear it on my back. No gear bag. I would put everything else in check baggage. Never had a problem. Here is a copy of the TSA Reg. on the subject. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
