Ha! That happened just this weekend for me and I couldn't figure out what it was from. Now I know. I had about 500 linetwists (maybe a bit exaggerated) and unzipped faster than I ever have before to fix the situation. :) Usually I unzip slow I guess, so this doesn't happen... EDIT: Geez, while I posted this two other people posted replies. Perhaps Scott is right. I really don't think I got the zippers 100% open, just enough to reach my risers. So it probably happened when I was untwisting myself... :) www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Interesting to look at the current poll results. In every "marriage age group" there are more happy than unhappy couples. But at the end, more people voted for "unhappy marriages are more common." The only explanation I can think of is that many of these votes come from unmarried (and divorced) people... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that before I removed the RSL from my V3, I noticed the same thing. I also seem to remember that it looked like, if you were to actually cut away from a real mal, and the RSL (vs the reserve ripcord) pulled the pin, this ripcord stop would not happen. The pin would get out of the metal loop entirely, and you could pull the reserve ripcord as far as you wanted (which wouldn't make a difference since the pin had already left the closing loop from the RSL's pull). www.WingsuitPhotos.com

MARCO ISLAND B@@GIE IS CANCELLED 2,15pm thursday
The111 replied to judedre's topic in Events & Places to Jump
Amazing how the "MI has been cancelled" thread is now about the temps, clothing, etc at Sebastian. I've seen derailments before, but the speed of this one was impressive. www.WingsuitPhotos.com -
Already done, CLICK HERE www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Here are some images of Perry's new suit! www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Take your planes and jumpers to Sebastian! www.WingsuitPhotos.com -
What (and how serious) were the injuries? Looks like I'll be hitting Seb instead. At least I'll get to see Perry's V-1! The rest of you should come too. Bring your planes, it will be crowded I'm guessing! www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Thanks for the reply... is the packing area grass? Are ALL the spectators old? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

For that matter, where do I go when I get there? To the airport or to the Radisson? Sorry if the info is already available in this thread... it's become huge due to random chat and I don't feel like searching. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

So it seems there are already people down there jumping. If that's true, can someone comment on the packing areas / transportation? I'm assuming after landing on the beach, we get driven back to the airport, and pack there. What is available to pack on... should we bring mats or anything? Hope to be there tomorrow! www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Feel better man, and let us know how it flies! :) www.WingsuitPhotos.com

No, come to Marco Island! There will be more birds there! What's wrong with your back? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Call me cynical but I still don't buy 31mph sustained in a Classic... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

As far as I know, he was on the bigway at DeLand, doing nothing but flying his slot normally, and it just up and exploded. That's what I remember the video showing. Now, I'm sure he did some "more than normal" flying on the suit in the past, but the point is that he was flying it normal when it gave out. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Hmm, a totally random, but relevant, thought. Wings on suits have been known to blow out. It's not common or frequent, but it does happen. It could happen to a canopy to, I guess, but it's less likely since a canopy's under less stress (I'd assume), and even if one seam came undone at 100 ft you could probably still land relatively uninjured. But what if you were lined up for the perfect WS landing (disregarding all the obvious skepticism) and at 100 ft a seam popped in your wing and you lost all ability to fly? (or popped during "flare" when it's under the most stress, and you simultaneously are depending on it the most) I realize that is by far the LEAST of all the concern's probably going through Jeb's head, but it is a valid, if unlikely one. Perhaps he should inspect his seams very thoroughly and wear a BASE rig, just in case, if he does go through with something like this... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

That's simply not true. I just googled several unique phrases from correspondence in my mail folders. No results. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

They appear to be at the top of the chest, like on the S-Fly (and other monowing suits, I think?). www.WingsuitPhotos.com

So it appears we are in the Feb issue of Skydiving, but not Parachutist. One outta two ain't bad. And I guess we could still show up in Parachutist in March... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

I think we just found out what happens when you ask Ed for photos. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
