Can you imagine that I do know my position, the line of flight, even where the previous group? Do you think this abilities are connected with my jump numbers? Stick to the clouds!

I was in a kindda boogie on last Saturday. I`ve seen at least 3 young man on crutches. I don`t have to asked them what was the reason. In theory I will be allowed to jump anything after 36 additional jumps. One of my mentor has told me that we may need stronger rules and he was not thinking about me.

I had a solo jump from 4000m in the weekend. I was the last on exit, an 2(or 3)way FF formation was before me. I have giving them 8 sec and jumped out and I was going belly down. I was planned to be pull high, about 1500m. In pull time I was in a cloud. I`ve known that I have good separation so I popped my PC. I`ve felt a bit strange anyway. Any thoughts about it?

I don`t know, I`ve found easier to push in the packet that way.
-
So they might forget to mention Nintendo, mp3 player and a portable DVD player too. :)
-
GPS??? For what reason? How can a GPS endanger a skydiver?
-
Yes, I`ve bought as a new and it was just the first time not to collapse.
-
I have an F111 kill-line PC, with a window on the bridle. I`ve noticed that it was not collapsed on the last jump, it only spooned up. I have 35 jumps on it. All I have seen is the attachment to the D-bag got a bit looser than before. Any other reason for that? I don`t want to have a break chute trailing after me.
-
Been there, done that.
-
I`m sorry to hear that.
-
Yee! Someone got my message finally.
-
Get your own god! I`m not yours....
-
I do agree. I won`t trust my life for the next gadget. Anyway even a AAD misfire can cause trouble with those spoon-up devices. Skydiving is optional, landing is not....

If it makes you day better............

Hmm. Call me lucky! I had the main hanging on the RSL after cutting away from a fast malfunction. It has happened twice. I never jump that rig again. BTW I don`t have RSL installed on my own rig. It was not my decision, it was my rigger`s. -
I don`t think so. They have a glide ratio between 1:20-1:60. Not even para-gliders having that ratio.

4 lines were gone from the left rear line group and it has started turning. AFAK a canopy with 4 broken lines is not landable. Some people died solving things like that.... I had one ride on a PdF Magic. It was flying really bad. Do you have more choice under a reserve?

MRMSW is 176 pounds. 194 is a bit more. Manufacturer’s Recommended Maximum Suspended Weight (defined as: Jumper + Clothing + Equipment) jumping in near perfect conditions. From the Warning label: APPROVED UNDER TSO C23c FOR CATEGORY “A” THIS PARACHUTE IS LIMITED TO PERSONS UP TO 90KG (198 LBS) FULLY EQUIPED, AND UP TO 130 KNOTS.
-
Calculate? Estimate would be better. ??? I`ve written about one even in this thread. Have you read the first post?
-
I can borrow you some. I have more than needed. :) I was overreacting. As I have written I can handle it fine, but I have a lot to learn.
-
I was not even planning to use it for the first time either. I know that is my last chance. If my rigger is telling its time to retire it I`ll do so and buy a proper one.
-
You played with my numbers before. What is the arerage chance of a reserve ride? 1:1000? How would it go with my jump numers in the next 6,5 years? I`ve written the reasons above.
-
Hm. New grip
-
If something is quite rare, you cannot excpect too many reviews.
-
Yeah. This is good judgement. I`ve tried that canopy for the 2nd time, make a minor fault and you say that I`m not read for that. For the record I have tried a Merit170 recomended by my mentor. After having 4 broken lines I have landed with the Crikett 147, it was nice, soft and stand up. BTW my WL is according local BSR.
