Witnessed an AAD save and it got me thinking...
piisfish replied to Zymurdoo's topic in Safety and Training
I talked to the jumper. The only important part of the discussion was him jumping with a wrist injury that prevented full control and a pillow handle. Without the wrist injury he might have been fine. Without the pillow handle he might have been fine. With the wrist injury and a pillow handle, he was lucky to have an AAD. I watched him from cutaway till reserve PC launch.... I was already making mental notes for the accident report. As was written originally, he had a VERY short reserve ride. Was it a more normal ride(around 15 seconds), or the 3 seconds originally reported ? If normal, then nothing to learn. If super short, I would be intzerested in knowing the configuration which lead to such a short flight. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM -

any news about the gear used ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM -
yup, pull higher, ugly pants, lucky the reserve clipped the rooftop or he would have been good for a 8m freefall from the roof. and stop blaming the vigil for the lowpull. It worked as advertised. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

going back to topic, Alygator is going to purchase a Wings, he is not asking for alternate rigs, he is asking which options would be the best for wingsuiting on his future Wings rig. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

for trackingderby, they used Garmin Foretrex 201 if I remember correctly. I prefer 1to1 jumps with direct competition/elimination, at least people jump in the same conditions. willing to jump with you this winter, but I will also try and wingsuit a bit (lot) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

so, how is the team doing ? were you at USPA NAtionals ?
-
thanks for that link teaching us youngsters some history

I should be down there in EB for Xmasboogie

apparently the site is down, but there was a disciplin called "tracking derby", which was not a speed run, but distance covered in a limited time, within a determined altitude window. Turns out that the speeds were approx 300km/h in "regular" Freefly or RW suits. where do you jump in Switzerland ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

my OLD S-Fly expert and my Ghost3 did no damage to the rig. My guess is the OP wanted to do a distinction between the wing-body junction by zipper rather by cutaway cable you could find on the past generation of suits scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
