  3. You are right, that is his reserve bridle, but I think it is a watch on his wrist. He would be wearing a MA2-30 or MA2-30A which are good to 40,000 I believe. The O2 hose should be plugged into a CR-79 mounted on his right main lift web just below the chest strap. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  16. Bill, There are not many who have heard of the Lake Erie jump and fewer of us that remember it. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  25. As I have said before, we all have choices. Your choice is not to use an RSL. But to say you don't use one because they kill people is ludicrous. Every piece of gear you exit the plane with has at some time caused the death of someone. The RSL, in its various forms, has saved countless lives and will continue to do so long after you and I are gone. So continue to jump without the use of an RSL because that is your choice, but don't say it is because it kills people. For the record, I too jump without an RSL for my own reasons.
