It's going to true after some repetition. Like any crapy music can be on the Pop Top 10 if it is played enough on the radio......
-
Cool! It seems to be taken by the media. I was told It was among the 8'o'clock news of a Hungarian TV channel ( not in the gossip news).

It depends. Mine was slippery like a snail and its harder to pack if the air is dry (

Kicked out of line twist on jump #6!
phoenixlpr replied to mattyblast's topic in Safety and Training
I have not counted how many line twists I had under student or big canopies. Not a big deal to solve it. They fly strait. I had one under reserve too. -
The "45 degree rule" for exit separation DOES NOT WORK

It seems we had something common in our studies like the The Four Colour Theorem.:) -
Welcome to the club of Vector II :).

AFAK there is no such a think like emergency brake on a car. I hope you have a real reserve in your container and not just a big fat pillow.....

Have you ever though about switching to golf or bowling? Of course its going to open! It did and its going to if I ever have to use it again. Anyway why do you jump a gear that you don't trust? One gear has failed to open(main) with me twice. In a squence. I have not jumped that anymore, but no complains for that reserve :). Every time I board a jump-plane I'm ready deploy my main or use my reserve if I have to. On the worst case I'm even willing to ride the plane down .

Even double wrap is a mystery for me. For PD Nav (drakon lines): Club1: double wrap all stows Club2: double wrap all stows , except locking stows... locking stows are loose some times... I have not heard about any baglock on those student equipment. rulez are rulez..

Nope. I had about 160 jumps on mine so far. I had 2 stable line twist from bad body position. My WL was/is between 1.2-1.4.

Can you warn him/her in freefall? Nope. In the door: there is no time, no way to clearly communicate. There is a risk/chance to have a premature opening at he door too, that can that the plane,pilot and/or people out too. You can not avoid every possible danger, there is no life without luck. I'd rather warn the jumper on the ground after the jump, because it may happen again. I've seen myself with an open main flap on a 20 way RW attempt from the video. I was one of the floaters. It was from 2 planes. Would it be a solution if someone would try to direct me back to the plane? I've got your message about FF dangers anyway.
-
I think it was too late to warn someone for open main flap. On the ground: ok On the plane: ok Outside of the plane or freefall: too late...

I had 2 rides with square reserves: Pdf Magic and GlidePath/FC Cricket. I was wondering that I would chop Magic if it would be the main over me, I have no complains about Cricket, flying nice, landing nice.

BASE is not a skydive. PERIOD. If you are just talking about it, its quite lame. If you even BASE jump with that attitude you are going to get on the list, sooner or later. What list? The Base fatality list.....

Some people has sense for orientation. Can you get lost in a foreign city or forest? If yes, that's not a surprise if you can get lost midair.

How about a wingsuite formation?

I've chosen some day of (real and physical)pain(PRK) than a wound that never heal properly. Make up your mind! Its a serious decision.
-
How about filling up your details?
-
Have you ever stopped driving for days beacuse someone has died in car accident in the country? In your town? In your neighborhood? In your family? You should have stopped dribing at least for the weekend!
-
It could be lot easier to discuss this some knows you, seen you on landing like your instructor.
-
It could've been better/safer to have PRK or LASEK instead...
-
NEVER let the toggles up if you flare high!!!! (pics)
phoenixlpr replied to Viking's topic in Safety and Training
I had somwthing similar: 4(5) screws and a plate in my fibula, 1 screw was removed along with the plaster. -

FAQ? Why? How about going into wiki from like Basewiki?

Do you searh. I had a PRK last year. I wouldnt've had LASIK, because of skydiving. Its too late for you.
