PM sent to Bonehead folks. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

It would lend credibility to your position if you identified yourself and filled out your profile. If you were treated as you say, as a rigger, I would like to apologize for what happened. Not all, in fact very few, riggers are dirt bags. Most do more then they charge for and are eager to help newer jumper out. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I think this covers it. Part 65.129 No certificated parachute rigger may— (d) Alter a parachute in a manner that is not specifically authorized by the Administrator or the manufacturer; (e) Pack, maintain, or alter a parachute in any manner that deviates from procedures approved by the Administrator or the manufacturer of the parachute; My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I can remember a time when skydivers didn't cheat skydivers. That time too has passed. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

It was a long post but that one thought made the read worth while. If more people took the time to understand just what it is you are saying with this statement, I feel there would be fewer open canopy incidents. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Same with me. It was like my 18th reserve packjob, i didn't even have my ticket yet...had packed it under supervision. But hey, i found out i knew what i was doing. No better feeling than saving your own butt.

You need to realize that you don't have any "experience" and are not in a position to be giving advise to student jumpers. It was not meant a personal attack but statement of fact. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals -
The first and only time I have seen one of my re-pack jobs open I was wearing the rig. I remember thinking as I was pulling the sliver, same packer, OH SHIT. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Dave, You are big and tough, you can handle it. Remember, they can kill you but they can't eat you, even in Texas. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

That could probably be debated... but it is beyond th scope of this thread. No that can't be debated. Some personal attacks deleted. Please debate issues, not personalities. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals -
for those who might have missed it in a previous post.

Gary also had stickers for Backwards CRW. When I was S&TA at Perris, I signed him off for his PRO rating. He did 6 out of the 10 landing flying his canopy backwards. If I remember right he had a yellow and brown striped jumpsuit and looked like a bumble bee. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals -
You could always jump you MT-1 system. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Now that should satisfy even the FAA, but I bet the Fire Marshall hates to see you coming. Can I buy those at Lowe's? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

You should take some time and fill in your profile. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I like the whistle idea. You could practice with it during the day on big ways. Chem lights or glow sticks will not meet the light requirement. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Why do you say a MT-1 is "somewhat" dangerous. It was designed for high altitude freefall and can be deployed at 30,000 ft. at 150 KIAS with a 300 lb.+ load. That works out to just over 240 KTAS witch is more than your rig is designed to take. As for the quick ejector hardware, it is used on most ejection seats in service today with ejections over 600 KIAS and no problems. B-12's and quick ejectors were designed to be used on leg straps. The quick fit adapters used on step through H/C systems was designed to be used mainly for harness adjustment such as the MLW and the back diagonal. I do agree with you that the system is not FF friendly, but dangerous, I don't think so. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Born and raised in So Cal. Doesn't matter where you live, Anything worth doing is a drive in all directions. And the Traffic is getting worse every day!

I was there when Jay Stokes set the record at 534. He averaged 2.69 minutes per jump and made at least one at 2 minutes 5 seconds. To make 600 he would have to make one jump every 2.4 minutes. That is hauling ass. I wish him luck. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Do you reach up and grab you risers during deployment? This is a common cause of a brake coming un-stowed. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
