There was a guy sitting in front of me wearing a Green Star rig. I pointed out to him the problem and he said no problem this is not a Trac II. Dah…. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I tend to agree with you. But their claim of “loops cleanly cut” I think is a dig on Argus. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

They give dz.com a good rating....I think. Sparky http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/dropzone.com My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

My guess is you played “T” and everyone got a trophy. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I don't know if you are aware, but in order to give a CYPRES approval to a container manufacturer ,Airtec test every model at least 36 times. That makes at least 36 'loops cleanly cut' .... http://www.pia.com/piapubs/TSDocuments/TS-112.pdf And don't forget to add another 80 000 + Cypres 1 units to the equation

It's a total malfunction. You know that Skyhook had nothing to add to the speed of the deployment, so why did you mentioned it?! +1 Anyone that depends on or has had one save their life was so deep in the shit they should reconsider skydiving. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Part of the problem back then was they were still using a 36” bridle. The pilot chute would pop up hit the end of the bridle and ricochet back on the jumper. When they went to a 5 or 6 foot bridle most problems went away. Sparky Easy fix, just put TWO of 'em in there, that way they can pull AGAINST each other! Every time!

Your new link does't work but the data shows up on your old link. I don’t know about “skydiving must be fun” but it should be. Tracking is a survival skill that all jumpers should work hard at mastering. Anytime you jump with another jumper/s a plan for break off should be discussed. On big ways, 100+, this can involve tracking for several thousands of feet. While skydiving is always fun it can be hard work. The chest mount altimeter is a great idea…..no matter what type of jumping you it is easy to see. I wore one for over 30 years. http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp55/mjosparky/Skydiving/Wingsuit.jpg http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp55/mjosparky/Skydiving/mount1.jpg Keep posting your results.

I am also speaking from experience. I have been involved in TSO testing on several reserve/emergency canopies. I have over 50 intentional test jumps on various types of canopies, round, square, cross from and others. Most modern canopies are reefed in some manner to prevent damage. But they are not designed to open slowly. Under TSO-23d they have a standard of 3 sec. or 300 feet, most being tested to 3 sec. Fast does not always mean hard.

Do you want to bet your life on that? I have seen jumpsuit zippers jam on several occasions. Sparky Whooooosh! Hey Whoooooosh, its already handled. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I realized that after I hit the post key. When you have to much of the Goose things appear different. Sorry.

You are accomplished but I'm puzzled why you posted this... Because he is Pat Works. Makes me wonder why you put this on the net. http://www.berniesayers.com/ Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

It takes about 5 seconds to fall 1000 feet in freefall. How long do you think it will take to travel 1000 feet during deployment of a canopy? Maybe 8 to 10 seconds? Think about that for a minute. 1 thousand 1, 1 thousand 2, 1 thousand 3………I don't think so. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Changed your profile eh. That won’t make it land and easier. I am not a Jedi, just an old man that survived 30 years in the sport by learning from the mistakes of others. You should try it sometime. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Now that you are done, are you going to put a band aide on your dick since you seem to have stepped on it? Think before you post. Some noob will read what you say and think it is just fine to take chances with their eyes. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

And what canopy would that be? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

As requested, http://pyrodan.privatedata.com/skydive/tracking/tracking-data-sept-22.pdf These are two RW jumps, where I track away at the end. Both were broken off high enough I had plenty of time to stay in the track and see how the horz speed curve would look. But on neither did I get close to max horz speed. The objective was to start from a normal belly flying position and take off in a track. Both were terminated in time for me to slow down before deployment. A topic of interest to me is that in all cases the data shows that there is always an acceleration time which is just physics. You can't skip over that fact. If you want separation it takes time to get speed and then distance. Now you’re catching on. Next go out solo from 12,500, turn away from the line of flight and go into a track. Hold it until 5 or 6 thousand and then see was the graphs say. And I mean hold it until it hurts, if you are sore and winded after you are not doing it right.
