    I disagree with this. You have more resistence if its baggy. You have less if its tight, its even faster if its tight and ZP material.

    I have ProTrack. Im generally happy with it. Theres only one annoying thing. If you jump out at 1st warning level or between 1st and 2nd level, it wont record anything.

    Id rather buy a baggy overall for the start..... After some jump youll see what kindda suit you want to have. I had a mistake to ask everyone and got a new suit made. It turns out is a bit too fast: ZP RW suit , Im 175cm and 90kg naked. So it seems it would be better to have a nonZP RW suit for me......... Now I have a baggy freefly suit too :)

    You can see. Low time jumpers are doing the same thing with their own HP canopy they can not handle. But it seems they are doing a bit better. :)

    Please correct me, but a barly used F111 is something like ZP????

    Well done! You are the first who noticed a problem with his theory. :) It was a bit suspicious, but I couldnt tell why.....now I know

    As far as I remember you should use both of your hand for the cuaway pillow and the reserve handle too. So you would loose the cutaway pillow. Anyway you dont have to hold the reserve handle, just put your fist in.

    Skyhook is not licensed for other manufacturers.

    I have a really bad example. Imagine a guy with 10+ years, 3000+ jumps....................but he is a paratrooper and 95% of jumps were SL

    Those things coming together in a combination......but anyone can make a bad decision anytime. How do you measure experience? Years in sport ? Number of jumps? ......

    You would expect a student to land a student canopy after 30 jumps, what about 86? It was a bad decision. I admit later with a smaller it would cost more.....

    In this sport we can correct the first fault, we may survive the second, but the third one is usually fatal. With the same efforts they couldve jumped with a bag of bricks too. Choping? Good question. There is usually a small reserve with the pocket rockets, it seems a bit bigger chance to survive with those. I bet those were quite light jumpers. Im about 220 at door, so it would be a very deep shit for me.....

    Why are we discussing cars HERE? Thats the thing I wanted to point to. Ive started last year with jump number of 32. I had 54 jumps from the mid of March til 1st July. Ive managed to break my ankle with a PDNavigator. I had more than 30 jump with it and 15-20 with that size I used that time. Now I had the experience. I wouldnt say that PDNavigator is not safe....... It was a clear piloting fault. Not more, not less. Lack of experience is not the only factor that leads to an accident.

    They wont tell you, just give a different risk estimate....thats a bit off Ive asked you already: Do you have to the member of USPA if you want to skydive in US? Having experience is just one of those factors that leads to an acident...

    You dont have to go so far. More HP, higher price... you should be able to afford a more expensive insurance... I really dont know why are you so stuck to my jump numbers? You can force regulation, they can get them killed in other contries. Anyway I think this accident is not supporting your experince/HP theory. Dont worry, you can find better cases....
  18. phoenixlpr
    Cars and car insurance are a different business. And so what? If I know it right you dont have to be an USPA member for skydiving. Take a different approach. How can they get a gear they can not fly?

    Check this. http://www.relativeworkshop.com/sales/pdt_skyhook.html http://www.relativeworkshop.com/sales/pdt_skyhook4.html Its a really good design.

    I suspect that PD190 is 9cell. Check this: http://www.performancedesigns.com/ninecell.htm I think PD190 is not for you. It would be overloaded. Get a ZP canopy. They fly much better. Dont buy that rig.

    There are some small tricks. Ive heard that the plain(L410~20jumpers) is flying on level, but making a slite curve around the airfield according to the situation of the wind.

    What is "KGS (Kilogramm*Strength)" anyway? Kg is Unit of mass, but Strength is not a measurement unit.
