    Opening a base canopy at terminal, at 1000 feet, free packed show how little he knows about canopies. Sad. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Many DZ's do. As at your local DZ and see what they require for currency and training. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I don’t think it has so much to do with the type of aircraft as it has to do with mind set during training. AFF students complete their student training without ever leaving the a/c below 3,500 feet. As a S/L student I had 10/12 jumps before I ever exited above 3,500 feet. As JP said it’s all about understanding the situation and choosing the right equipment. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Booth Law #1 "The lower you pull, the longer your parachute will take to open, and the more likely it is to malfunction." Booth Law #2 "The safer skydiving gear becomes the more chances skydivers will take, in order to keep the fatality rate constant."

    You may be the one being laughed at but who is the clown? Never let peer pressure affect how you deal with your safety. Remember no one cares about you the way you do. Saprky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    A good rule of thumb is if you have to run to make the load you should not be on the load. One load is not worth dying for. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Do you know what the rules are in Ireland? The fact is the owner can jump the canopy as long as he gets is legally packed per the rules in his country. As for the US, there is nothing that says an end user has to abide by the TSO of the rig. If he breaks the TSO and dies nobody gives a shit. Sparky. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    In test situations I have landed a canopy at 32 fps decent rate and at 40 mph ground speed. I would not recommend either. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
