How do I get over being afraid to jump my own pack job?
squirrel replied to dweeb's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Well, my wife had 2 total malfunctions...with a packers' pack job. for some reason, the packers just stuffed the pilot chute it the BOC like a ball...she couldnt pull it out, in the air, or the ground. Her own fault for not checking it, but she had not learned how to pack yet. After the second one, we talked to the packer...they claimed that her arm strength was week. Uh, she does bikram yoga everyday, and is a waitress...sufficent arm strength. Learn to pack that day...never went back, and never have had even the smallest glitch on openings since. Take control of your life. I dont let anyone do brake work on my cars, and I do all the work on my ultralight...you never know when someone is haveing a bad day, or gets rushed to finish something...and does it wrong. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him? -
i was taught to rip the cut handle, then pull it. pulling it straight down is a harder pull against the velco. then, go to the reserve D-ring or pillow. and, be sure to check your velco every once in awhile, it can get old at stiff. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I have not had a chop yet, but my wife had one one the day we fell in love. So the story goes like this...I meet her at a DZ, we jump together for several days...falling in love as we do (really), and on one jump, she has a total, could not get the pilot chute out, bad pack job (we now pack our own, always)...she tries once, twice, three, four times...decesion altitude hard deck 2000 feet, go to reserve. So I deploy normally, and look around, no girl...holy f**king s**t, I just fell in love, and I just lost her...Holy crap, she just lost her life...wait...below me...a solid color chute...its her, under a reserve...thank whomever you believe in. I land 20 feet from her..."You ok? What happenend?" she..."Fine, but I am f**king done for the day! I wanted to jump all day! F**king packers!" and, she actually cursed in freefall, thinking of the $50 repack charge, as she was going for her reserve, by her decesion altitude...one cool cookie. I asked her to marry me that night...and a year later we got married...jumping out of a skyvan. Cheers! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

jump from a cloud hopper balloon, it should come down soft. or, get a BRS for the plane. I am not telling you to do this, and I take no responsiblity for your actions. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I do believe the basic understanding when you rent an apartment is the right to a "safe and reliable" dwelling. Do some research. Also, unless the landlord is partial to these guys, it may not be his fault, he may be getting screwed as well as you, so by montering what these yahoos are doing, you are a help to your landlord. I am a landlord, and I would appreciate it. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

Well, sort of. Just recieved the BRS system for my trike...we figure we jump with a reserve, why not fly with one too. This is a rocket launched round reserve system...and I think it is damn cool. Now, gotta go install on trike.

Well, I am a general contractor, and not telling a drywall sub how he should do his work...but....your right. Friend's house flooded, with raw sewage. We hired a company to come clean and dis-infect...done within 8 hours of flood. We let it dry out for a week, I hung the drywall one day, and using a faster setting joint compound, I was able to texture and paint the following 2 days. 4 work days, including initial clean up. So yeah, these guys suck. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

this is a story from a friend. when this guy was young, he picked up an extension cord, and for some reason, the conductors (wires) were exposed. his dad looks overs and says "I wouldnt do that if I were you" my friend, Nick, proceeds to lick the end of the cord....BAM! he remembers thinking, wow, fireworks. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

if you plan your stops, map them on yahoo maps you can use the "show WiFi" option on yahoo maps to show where there are Wifi's...budget a few bucks for connection fees. use the new broadband yahoo maps, and type "wifi" in the "find on the map" window. then click on the more info link under each location to get details. of coarse, you will need to have a wifi accessable laptop. and, shoot me a PM when you get near, we live 70 miles from Perris, Elsinore, and Cal City DZ.
