    The safer you make skydiving the more inventive skydivers will become at finding more ways to kill themselves. Safe skydiving is a pipe dream. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Do you have a link to these incidents? I spent some time tracking problems with the various AAD’s and can’t recall this happening. Sparky Well one thing is becoming clear. The.largest cause of aad failure is people failing to read the manual, and therefore not understanding their equipment. That and listening to what some smuck tells them.

    This is the problem, and it has been known since the A/C was in testing at Edwards. http://www51.honeywell.com/aero/common/documents/myaerospacecatalog-documents/Defense_Brochures-documents/Life_Support_Systems.pdf Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    WDI’s were dropped at 2,500 feet directly over the target. The plane would circle until the WDI landed. The spot is the same distance up wind from the target as the WDI is down wind. They only work for low level jumps; they do not give you any indication of upper winds. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    You have learned well Grasshopper.

    The “green” light means you have the pilot’s permission to jump. After that it is up to you to call the spot. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Go to a party supply store and buy some rolls of 2” crape paper. Say red, white and blue. Cut off about 20/30 feet of each color and tie them together at one end. Put them down the front of your jumpsuit. After opening and doing a canopy check pull the knot end out first and put it under you leg strap. Put a couple of practice jumps on it before doing a demo.

    I think maybe you were too tight on your last rig. You should be able to put a couple fingers under the leg strap. You should be able to squat down without it hurting. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Just one more electronic gadget to distract and confuse. Jumpers need to develop the skills to jump, deploy and land on their own. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    It has been my experience that using direct bag on ram airs causes erratic opening (line twists, line over) and damage to the top skin. YMMV. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
