    If you are getting 70 sec. from 13.5 that means you are averaging 110/112 mph. Thats pretty slow? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    First of all, you do not have to live with one of us so what to you care what we think? You do or should care what your S/O thinks. If your landing are just so so, why the rush to change canopies. In air flight is not where you will get thumped, landing is where it turns from air to dirt. jmo.

    Ron, Judging from your lic. #, just guessing of course, I would say you are one of the older, more mature, jumpers. Thats the same attitude that made me give up skiing. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    The auto industry does not kill 40,000 people every year, drivers who lack the skill and judgment to drive safely kill 40,000 drivers every year. And shit does not happen unless you have shit in your planing. www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005X2CK/103-6120446-1385443?v=glance I am old enough to remember when he first wrote the book. I also drove a corvair for 2 years and 50,000 miles with out incident. Like I said, skill and judgment can and does make a big difference. But we were not talking about poorly made cars. We we talking about people without the needed skill and judgment making demos. Big difference. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Go to your local gear store or talk to your rigger and buy some. Much easier and unless you plan on becoming a rigger, you won't have to by a finger trap tool. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    It is not so much distance as it is time. Distance will vary with freefall speed. I believe it is 3 sec. with 3 line twists. I could look it up but I am not at home. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    The absolute max. is the weight that if exceeded may damage the canopy on deployment. Max recommended is the weight where your body my be damaged during landing. Just because the canopy will take the opening does not mean your body with survive the landing. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Do you think it is a good idea to write off what your Dr. has told you and look for medical advise on a skydiving web site. Those skydivers that could offer advise, ie Doctors, are not likely to do so sight unseen. jmo. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Over the years I was able to donate 10 gal. of blood. Each and every time I left the blood bank I felt great for 2 reasons. 1. I had helped some in need and 2. I was able to help some in need. To me there is no greater feeling in the world than to know you have made a difference.
