  1. 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

  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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

  14. thanks for that link teaching us youngsters some history
  15. I should be down there in EB for Xmasboogie
  16. 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
  17. Hey Ignas, thanks for sharing your incident with us. Now STOP regretting. You did man up, apologize sincerely for your past "mistakes", now keep all your energy on the positive side for a better and quicker healing. Get better
  18. man we NEED a change in the discipline... Even CReW have more girls than us.... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  19. 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
