    Para-Innovators was using a through loop in the early 70’s on the Piglet 2 system. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Here are some tests we did on C-9's a few years ago. First one is 180 kt. and 450 lb. The second one is 300 Kt. and 370 lb.

    This is an interesting statement (and I am not saying that I disagree with you). What do YOU see as being the prerequisite skills for being OK to fly a certain canopy? Would you echo BillVon's checklist or do you think there is something more? You could start with this. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    And it was surprising how much you learned about flying your body trying catch a 200 lb guy in gutter gear and an A-1 double zipper jump suit. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    What a unique concept. When we were coming up it was standard practice. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I would say since the state 120 as max. you should get another canopy or a different rig. They make the thing they should know. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    We were at 24,000 feet over G range and the FAA says you can’t use a cell phone in an aircraft in flight. This is what the BB’s did to the boxcar. Thanks, I am glad to.

    No they are not related. A step through is just that, you step through a line or lines after landing and still wearing the rig. A flip through is just that. When you take the rig off in the packing area you flip the container through the risers twisting just the risers. It is not Semantics, they are 2 different things. One you can land the other you can’t. What is confusing to new jumpers is not get the right information. They need to learn the basics right to build their knowledge on. The basics start with learning the right terminology. You are right, paying attention during packing would have caught either one. That is if they had learned the basics of packing.

    Eric, here is where the conspiracy theory was started by a poster that is conspiracy seeing a conspiracy in every situation. And this post is still up. The other posts were just a reaction to this. Sparky Post #3 My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Look again! The rings are there. It is a Student Wings container complete with parachutes over the top of a Sigma Student harness. I've put that exact rig on many of my students.

    QuoteThat is not a student rig. There are no 3 rings. It is a pilot rig. Sure looks like 3 rings to me. Sparky [url]http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp55/mjosparky/Skydiving/untitled-1.jpg My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I don’t think you packed a “step through”. That term is being applied to all sorts of problems that are not related. From your description you more than likely flopped your rig between the risers when you laid it down. This is what a step through looks like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAtNMq_VN-I This what is what I think you had.
