It looks like the rig is a little too big for her! Is it true what they say about guys with long rigs? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I am turely sorry for this tragedy. However, you should consider filling in more information about yourself. I have not heard about this incident. The first I am hearing is from someone I don't know at all. I'm sure you will find the skydiving community to be amazing and helpful in the time of need. But the response will be far greater if you offer more information on the incident as well as yourself. Please don't take this the wrong way. Just trying to help. Edit: I just found this at www.skydivemonroe.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

What if you are a dealer.... Then you jump less, work more, get smaller discounts than sposored teams.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

just sad thouse pics are so damn small HH fix that problem... pleeeeaaaseee Are you going to Rantoul? There might be a much bigger one there... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I'll do it! I'll do it! I didn't pack my clippers, but I have plenty of experience with Mohawks and the like. If you bring the clippers and sweep up after yourself, I'll carve whatever you want on your head! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I wouldn't call it "bad" body position, as it was the only position I could get my "main" out in. It was not packed to open slowly. When you hook up a PDr or any R for that matter as a main, you install a different slider and pack accordingly. Roll the nose three and three. Nice and tight. There are several factors that will make a reserve packed as a main vs. a "real" reserve pack job open differently. A few that come to mind are Pilot Chute, d-bag/freebag, position in the container, pack job.... Most of the "real" reserve rides that I have had at terminal have not been comfortable. I wouldn't recreate this senario just to "see what it is like". I would teach a student how to PLF in case they can't flare. But I would never tell them to land without flaring to see what it is like and to make sure they learned that PLF. When I have hosted "Flying the Reserve" seminars in the past in conjuction with Performance Designs, we recommend that jumpers roll the nose nice and tight on the canopies and do hop-n-pops. Some took them to teminal.... once. It's not something you want to do all day. So if you want to put a few jumps on a reserve as a demo, I STRONGLY suggest you roll the nose and enjoy some sub-terminal openings. And yes, the PDr is a good solid canopy. I love my PD113r. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I have to disagree. When she needs it, she'll be happy it opened fast, but I don't think it's necessary to practice/demo a brisk opening. I had a lovely experience where I was demoing a reserve (nose not rolled) on a hop 'n pop. Well. I had a Pilot Chute in tow, so I did the old reach around and manually extracted the bridle/pin. So by the time it opened, my body was torked and I was at terminal. Oouch! That was my last jump that day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I am a gear dealer, and so far we are batting 1000 for customer saticfaction and manufacturer service. We have had repeat business from a couple of jumpers that really love the Pilot main. I have demoed the reserve, but our DZ has no "real" Smart reserve rides yet. It is built solid and flares great. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

For now Katie. Just breath. Sometimes that is all you can do. I hope to meet you sometime. I'ld just like to sit with you and hold your hand for a moment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Not anymore. I got the last good one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Good. THanks. I've been walking on that line lately, and I just need someone to keep me in check! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I got a C cup into the smallest size and it worked.... a bit of flesh exposed on the sides, however! Jett (3 years old) wouldn't let me sell the pink one, so we put it on her and it looked like a little halter top. So yeah. They are pretty small. Rosa, I would still like to see you in the next size up. I'm sure ALL the DZ.commers would also like to see that! Gawd I love decorating the drop zone/s! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies!

Shut up Lani! You can't pretend to be a non-skydiver! You have jumped out of an airplane, haven't you? And I seem to remember trying to get you into one of my Bikini Tops last weekend! I've been sewing my little fingers to the bone trying to make enough of these things for Rantoul! Maybe you can help me find some itty bitty titties to take some pictures of this weekend! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Did your "special" welcoming committee find you yet? I told them to look for you in the sauna! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Sorry, if I miss-interpreted your original post. I guess the part of your post that stuck in my mind was, "you might need to use it one day." Please DON'T practice any rear risers stalls or any other maneuver you are unfamiliar with down low. Practice them from an altitude you would be comfortable cutting away from; in case you inadvertently induce a malfuction or problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
