I jump a large canopy, not a little 170 and do up to 25 demos a year. I would not attempt to catch anything while under canopy. Both the main and the freebag/pilot chute are not worth the risk involved. The jumper in question I understand was an excellent canopy pilot and he is dead.

It is 35, we did it at a "Jump for the Cause" for spinal cord research at Perris. The tandem passenger is a paraplegic, has about 150 jumps and holds a "C" lic. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Sid, Nice picture lay out. I makes it very easy to understand. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Yes. But thats for sewing the holes in your shorts. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Yes it does Ed, Thanks. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Its not the same configuration and it can't slip. Do you have a zig-zag at your house? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I believe that in this case there were reverse rises involved. Not enough drag to lift the risers off the shoulder and allow the rings to release. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Would that facility happen to be the same one that manufactured the Tempo for PISA? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Rob, I'll pass that along to Gary, he will be tickled. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

It is finger trapped back on itself. I have used that method a few times and it works well. I think it was someone at Jump Shack that came up with the idea. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Tim, When you take the FAA written and go through the practical and oral, it doesn't matter if you are Canadian, American or from somewhere else. To pass and get your seal you have to know what you are doing and have every right to feel proud. A lot of effort and time goes into acquiring the knowledge.

Whoa, chill out, I did not say one was better than the other. Being a FAA certified rigger I am not familiar with Canadian rules and regs. I just assumed, I now, they would not sign off on the cert. of another country. I know the FAA does not recognize the certification from another country. No flame intended.

Hey Kelly, Glad to hear that is all you broke. Damn those dams.

although as a note, the Emancipation Proclamation didn't really do anything I think it was the 13th amendment that formally "freed the slaves" Sounds to me like it freed someone. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Yeah, most of Air Trash still has all their arms and legs. Seems like SKy Scum has something falling off of everybody. The difference between Air Trash and Sky Scum is: Sky Scum want to get better. See ya Sat. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Just so there is no misunderstanding, with a bag lock you accelerate. Like Ian and Ron said get rid of it. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Dom, Thanks for the update. Poke him in the ribs once for me and give Kate a hug. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

No, I was just making it a clicky. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

An FAA Certified rigger can work on anything he wants, he just cannot certify as airworth for use by people non TSO'd gear, or certain military gear. Also a rigger holding a rating issued by the FAA has no authority to work on equipment in Canada, he/she would have to be certified by the Canadians. After all, they are different countries.

And exactly who are they -- 'cause I'm thinkin' they aren't really all that independent. Got URL? Who they are doesn't change the fact Kerry only paid $90,000 in taxes. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Subject: Tax info Every year an independent tax watchdog group analyzes the average tax burden on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax Freedom Day". This is the day after which the money you earn goes to you, not the government. This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest it has been since 1991. It's latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in 2000. Notice anything special about those dates? Today John Kerry gave a speech in which he claimed Americans are actually paying more taxes under Bush, despite the tax cuts. He gave no explanation and provided no data for this claim. Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy men. Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns 4 mansions, all worth several million dollars. (His ski resort home in Idaho is an old barn brought over from Europe in pieces. Not your average A-frame). Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000. Does that sound right? The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously has figured out a way to avoid paying his own. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
