    If not on appeal, it will be set aside by the Judge. It has happened before when the judgment is so far out of line. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Have the guy who is rigging it email or PM me. You can reef the deployment with cutters and make easier to hang on to. Sparky (Kitty Hawk #61) My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    No, I wouldn't. But if I was withing the operating limitations and simply deployed it and it came apart and the manufacturer released a SB to fix what broke on the reserve, yes, I would sue. Derek I know one of the people involved in the two failures and he was over weight and over speed. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    One of the legal minds correct me if wrong. This judgment is excessive and will be put aside on appeal. Deploying past a PC in tow would not cause the canopy damage described. The canopy is still in the bad until after it passes the PC. That fact that it opened says it didn't entangle. The PC could have damaged the lines causing them to fail and the canopy opening with several lines gone could cause it to explode. jmo. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Not fair. You could tell them they have to ride the plane down and they would not get mad at you. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    When you think about it, camerapeople are some of the best flyers we have in the sport today. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    No, I meant Type VIII risers. The wider material makes is almost impossible for the the cutaway cable to get trapped. Before the advent of Type 17 risers you never heard of trapped cables. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    There are no moderators on jump planes, only jumpers. Did you confront this jumper when you got down? If not, Buzz, to late, times up. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    They were junk, but they were all we had. As for their purpose, Capewells, Rocket Jets and other military fittings were never intended to be used for in air cutaways. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    If everyone went back to type VIII risers the problems of hard cutaways would almost disappear. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    There is an old saying that fits this situation. "If you are going to be stupid, you had better be tough". Sounds to me like he was stupid but not all that tough. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    As Jim said, No you don't know anything about demos. A demo jump is not a skydive, it is a performance you are putting on at any given venue. Your actions, both in the air and on the ground, represent 35,000 skydivers throughout the country. What you and you fellow jumpers do on that one day can have an impact far beyond the crowd you are landing in front of. If you act like a jerk, all 35,000 skydivers are jerks. How you are perceived can influence weather a DZO is allowed to open a DZ in the area, or the DZ in the area is allowed to stay open. Demos are not for everyone, they are hard work and the required skills must be keep sharp. You will never get rich. But damn, they can make you happy to be alive.

    The canopy I gave you has very few jumps on it and will take your out the door weight without problems. If the reserve is in good shape you will be OK. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
