  1. no shit. I went through AFF in 97 and did all my AFF jumps on a Falcon 300. After AFF I had to rent a rig to finish out my student jumps (no coaching then so they were all solos). The DZO gave me a rig with a PD190 in it. I was about 190lbs at the time. It opened and I thought, holy shit, where's the rest of it? Scars remind us that the past is real
  2. Your fact assumes the airliner is moving. The myth says nothing about that. So can a .50 round penetrate the tanks at a mile away? I can get within a mile of the taxi area at most airports and there are stationary planes on the tarmac. Hitting the target otoh is a different story Scars remind us that the past is real

  11. Why did you get your first one? And do you train to use it? did you use that line of thought, or did you just do what you were told? no one ever really told me to get a hook knife, and now that you mention it, no one has ever even talked to me about it until now. The reason I bought my first one is that I would dream about skydiving all day after my first jumps. And I would go through the entire jump in my head, ride up, touch all the handles, practice EPs, have fun on the jump, opening (I ALWAYS have sweet openings in these day dreams) and then landing. I would also think about - now what in the hell could go wrong. I would sit around the DZ when not jumping and ask a bazillion questions - "Ever have a reserve ride? What happened?" things of that nature. And I've continued to do that everywhere I've gone. I began to understand how the rigs worked and then I could see where things could go wrong. At about jump 30 - when I bought the knife - I thought - damn, I could really see where one of these could be useful if a riser didn't let go or my hand was wrapped in the brake line or etc, etc. So I decided, wth - why not? It doesn't affect my performance - it doesn't hurt to have it there and it could pay off handsome dividends if I ever need it. Had it ever since. Mine however is on the leg of my jumpsuit and yes, it gets touched along with all of the handles on each jump, and no, it's never been used to cut anything. Jump Scars remind us that the past is real
  12. count me in too. PM me when you guys figure out how you want to do it. Maybe meet in the pub later? Jump Scars remind us that the past is real
  13. You have a reserve because it is required by law....Hook knives are not required. Why do you have a hook knife? I feel its better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. The ONE time I won't have it with me would be the ONE time I would need it. It stays. Scars remind us that the past is real
