If you worry about having 2 out the best way to deal with that worry is just don’t go there. With the present AAD technology you idea is probably not that practical. But keep thinking and you might be the one that changes “present AAD Technology”.

105.43 §Use of single-harness, dual-parachute systems. No person may conduct a parachute operation using a single-harness, dual-parachute system, and no pilot in command of an aircraft may allow any person to conduct a parachute operation from that aircraft using a single-harness, dual-parachute system, unless that system has at least one main parachute, one approved reserve parachute, and one approved single person harness and container that are packed as follows: (c) If installed, the automatic activation device must be maintained in accordance with manufacturer instructions for that automatic activation device. If it is the law do you need someone to enforce it? Or would you follow common sense? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

One more try. If weight does not matter, how do you develope the velocity/speed to produce opening forces? Do you use FM? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

...and this is dorkzone.com, not a dropzone filled with real skydivers, hence some of the responses Hi, I am from dorkzone...... Vector III Main Canopy: Safire 135 ft² (7.22 lbs/ft²) Reserve Canopy: PD Reserve 126 ft² (7.74 lbs/ft²) AAD: Cypres My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I would be hard pressed to come up with any issue discussed by the BofD that would not have an impact on the "bottom line" of DZO Board Members. No, its the jumpers problem when their reprehensive would pass on such a readily avail vial means of communicating with their constituency. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

He could land it tomorrow if he wanted to. He just wouldn't be able to do it twice. All the technology in the world will not allow him to land a wingsuit. He may fly the wingsuit but he will have to land something else. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

No, that was at an un-named military test center. It was a real "E" ticket ride.

The BOD for USPA is decided by less then 10% of the membership. The ballot is mailed to each member’s home with return postage paid. Yet over 90% are to fucking lazy to vote. Most DZO’s have much better name recognition in their region then the average weekend jumper. Those jumpers that do vote see a name they know and vote for it. As Peckerhead posted, a DZO on the board is a conflict of interest. They are concerned with looking out for their own economic interest and that at times is counter to the interest of jumpers. USPA started out to be an organasion whose purpose was to represent the interests of skydivers who were members of USPA. Then came “Group members”. Simply put a Group Member is a business that offers skydiving services to what used to be USPA members. USPA has become a trade organization who actions appear to focus on the business of selling skydiving services and not the interest of customers or participants of skydiving. USPA is at present involved in a law suit brought because of action taken by this “trade organization” against a business and it owners. By trying to regulate how a non-member business conducts its business they have put USPA in a position to lose everything. And this action was not to protect the week end jumper; it was to protect DZO’s. I may be wrong but I think when this suit is settled USPA will cease to exist. We will just have to wait and see.

Impulse and kinetic energy is depending on speed and weight. Velocity is not depending on weight. I may be using the wrong word, but I will guarantee you that if you strap on 40 lbs. of lead you with be falling faster than without it. (all other things being equal) How fast you go in freefall depends on surface area to mass or weight. That is why FF’s fall faster than RW flyers. I am done with this.

Oh sure, make it in the middle of the country so people from both coasts can get there with easer. What a dumb concept.

Go through the list of USPA Directors. How many are DZO’s or an obvious reprehensive of a DZO? To a large part, DZO’s are USPA. Where do you think that leaves the average weekend jumper? Without representation. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Thats like say Firefighters use oxygen packs when they enter a building to fight fire. Not a good place to take compressed O2.

If the H/C and the reserve get split up, the logbook goes with the canopy, correct? How do you keep track of the history of the H/C? Open to response from anyone who's country has a way to handle this problem.

And the velocity is dependant on the weight. Lower weight, lower velocity. Fill time of a canopy plays a role in this. The shorter the fill time is the faster peak loads are reached. It is this sudden onset of peak load that is more likely to damage the canopy. Canopies with a longer fill time can take the same loads without damage because it comes on slower. Conversely when the peak forces are stretched over a longer period of time the jumper can be affect more. A human can take more g’s in a spike than he/she can over an extended period. I hope this makes sense
