Oh yeah..... RSL's can be good or bad, but the pillow handles are straight from the devil himself!!!!!! I don't have an RSL or Pilllow reserve...I have had a hard time finding my Cutaway once, and that fixed me to never want a Reserve pillow. I have a metal handle on both sides. I have never seen a handle fold under the mlw. I don't have an RSL or a Pillow reserve but I do have dyslexia! Pillow only has 2 L's Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

If you are not sure, take it to a rigger. Better yet, get a rigger to go over how to hook it up step by step. jmo My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

***No, your conclusion does not follow from those facts. Correlation does not necessarily equal cause and effect. What it could mean instead, is that spectators at public events are just far more likely to sue someone who is "responsible" for their injuries, than spectators at a regular parachute center. Lawyers at demo events have "deep pockets" to go after. If you have insurance, they'll sue for that insurance money. If you are uninsured and have no major assets, they don't waste their time on you. The dollar amount of payouts in lawsuits has no bearing on the competence of the skydivers. Quote What it could mean is that they were injured by a Demo jumper who did not have the skills/judgment to do the demo. If he/she had the skill/judgment the spectator would not have been injured. That correlation equals cause and effect won't you say. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Ok - who is the high school drop out that thinks his rig weighs less than 5 lb.? Your canopy lines, main and reserve, weigh that much. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Hi Rodger, Welcome to DZ.com Several year ago I was on a 20 way at Perris. We were jumping a DC-3. We taxi down to the end of the runway and the pilot starts his run-up checks, it was the first load of the day. Something did not feel right, to this day I am not sure what. I looked at the other jumpers on my load and said sorry, I can't go. I jumper out of the plane and walked back to the packing area. Later that day the feeling went away and I made 2 or 3 jumps. I probably had a 1000 jumps when this happened and I would do it again in the same situation. If you still want to continue jumping, go back when you feel right about it have a ball. Remember to smile, it drives them crazy. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Nope. Life gave me a big jar of Country Time Lemonade mix, a big bottle of Ketel One vodka and diet vanilla Pepsi. I'm gonna make vodka and lemonades and save the Pepsi's for later. That was good. I think I'll have another. Mix it 50/50 with goofy grape Kool-Aid and call it Purple Jesus. And if you drink too many you will see the face of God. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I'm not an instructor, so my comments reflect only my opinion. One fundamental concept regarding safety systems is that they should be as simple as possible. Another is that you should change as little as possible in the lifesaving sequence over time. Thus, if possible, the best scenario is to learn a set of safety procedures on day one that will work just fine a thousand jumps from now. I am kind of a chicken, so I don't like going back into freefall unless I have my thumb hooked through silver. The idea of cutting away and then trying to find where the ripcord went when the harness shifted bothers me. My procedure is one hand per handle and I stuff them in my jumpsuit before clearing the brakes on my reserve. To get to whether you should hang on to your ripcord to see if you'd pulled it, this concept puzzles me. The fact that you're still in freefall is usually a pretty good clue that you're not done with your emergency procedures, and I've been known to pitch handles when I had more immediate concerns than hanging on to them. Keep pulling handles until you're under a good canopy, and hang on the handles if you are afforded that luxury, but focus 100% on staying alive regardless. If you're worried about losing the handle, don't sweat it - they'll make you a new one. Anyhow, the most basic cutaway procedure I was taught (when switching to 3-rings from shot and a half Capewells) was two hands per handle, keep an eye on the reserve ripcord while pulling the cutaway, and fling each handle once it is pulled completely. For your first cutaway, I suggest throwing the handles away as a matter of course. Thereafter, keeping the handles is optional, but you should be ready to pitch them IMMEDIATELY if they interfere in the slightest with your emergency procedures (sometimes there's more to do after pulling handles...). Oh, and whatever your procedure - practice it a lot. Having it be second nature really helps in a pinch. Blue skies, Winsor If all that does not confuse him nothing will. If you are going to cutaway, make your decision up high, don't fettle fuck around. Grab you cutaway with both hands, look at your reserve handle and pull the cutaway to arms length. Grab the reserve handle with both hands and pull to arms length, go into a hard arch. Both handles only have to move 5 to 7 inches. Throw the damn things away. Like someone said earlier, they will make you new ones. Don't give up until your goggles fill with blood. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

***I used to think in terms of spotting too because I've done a lot of it, but I now think that this term scares people offQuote It's sad, but today many jumpers think spotting is being the first one to see the green light come on. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
