Hot slider grommets melting slinks and risers
kcaero replied to sundevil777's topic in Gear and Rigging
So how hot do the grommets get?? -
I recall seeing a photo sequence not this but cannot find it anywhere.. Sometime in the 60's or maybe a little later there was a double fatality .It involved 2 jumpers having simultaneous cutaways and one jumper ended up going thru the others reserve..anyone remember who and where it happened?

Flying in turbulence, brake, no brake?
kcaero replied to jeanneretjerome's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Para Flite use to include a section on turbulence in their manuals. -
Was the Javelin ever approved for round reserves? Just curious

Just wondering how popular this style of kill line bridle is.I find it harder to calibrate (in production) than the older Cazer style bridle.It certainly seems to be a much bigger pain in the ass to install.
-
So I was wondering does anyone have an estimate on how much load the inner bag stop takes during a deployment on the totally enclosed bridle that UPT makes.?

Negative

Andrade1812...yes it is functional although not in great condition

Georger..NO.The rig that Dan Gryder showed is jumpable.you Mus understood what I said.To clarify...that rig can not be described as "an NB8" simply because it is part NB8( the container)and part B 12(the harness).It does have the correct Ripcord for that container ( NB8).
-
The rig that Dan Gryer came up with is a combination of an NB8 container( extended) and a B12 harness.Now pay close attention here..look at the Ripcord handle.That diagonal tubing inside of the Ripcord,that indicates it is an NB8 ripcord.Why is this significant? The NB 8 has a closer pin spacing than a B12/B4.You have to use the NB8 Ripcord. An NB 8 Ripcord WILL NOT work on a B12 container .

Steve Snyder began playing with the Delta II in 1967.At Ripcord Para Center( he owned the dropzone).Dick Morgan (he was a Golden Knight at the time) began collaborating with him at that time
