    I guess that comes down to how you see you customers and how much you care about their safety... BOOM! now everybody calm down please.. You can purchase a suit with no experience and go jump it. I have examples : -100jump wonder purchasing beginner-mediate suit asking for coaching -50ws jumps jumper (with a 6yr hiatus in his skydiving activity) purchasing a hugefastmattress suit scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    I am not saying that it would be the right thing to do. Just saying that this was my instinct. Go wrap your head in a mess of lines and webbing and see how you react. Are you SURE your head will not be extracted by the opening main ? I know that the correct answer would be STOP THE SKYDIVE, get the reserve out. And for info, it was the reserve pull which caused the main to get out of the dbag, so I could have by the same way landed my body with a good reserve, and my head with the main scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    I would have had a properly mounted helmet (removable ringsight on nylon screws, helmet cutaway), I would have pitched the PC immediately and not held onto it, because there was far enough distance between us. Should I get in the same situation again (head wrapped in lines etc), I guess my instinct would still be to have a clear head still attached to my body scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    I like the idea, as the list is opened to coaches from all horizons. Just needs "some" validation of credentials. There might be some very good coaches without a national/manufacturer rating, certainly lots of them actually. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    I htink Ski is right. Try a SLOW pull on your cable, you should on most gear and with properly lengthed cables, have one side release prior to the other. Always the same. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    So he was *unable* to pull the reserve himself? in this pretty stressfull situation my priority was not to be decapitated by a deploying main attached to my head. Once my head was clear (lines taken off from around my neck, helmet ditched), I pulled the reserve handle, but that was just after my CYPRES fired. Yes I did loose altitude awareness, but my thought was I would rather go in with my head still attached to my body. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    if you give your rig to the same rigger who last repacked it, he should be allowed to open and reclose without repacking your rig. I would charge, to the maximum, an AAD removal+install, not a complete repack. Concerning meaning of errors and how to deactivate... My opinion is the device said : ERROR. I interpret is as DON'T JUMP ME. How to deactivate it : open reserve flaps, remove device, close reserve flaps. As simple as that. DO NOT JUMP devices which are not working properly. There have been cases with several AAD manufacturers. Unit was not showing proper function, was jumped, and popped at undesirable altitude. This is not specific to AAD Vigil, Airtec CYPRES, Aviacom Argus or any other. This, in my opinion, is valid for each and every device. If it doesn't work, remove it till it works properly. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    what I find is wrong, is that you are posting a thread about fruits in the Bonfire.... Now how do you expect Christelsabine to make a remark about your gunthreads ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    Why are you using the Japanese code words used to indicate a successful attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, to promote a skydiving event held in Spain? wasn't that Tora Tora Tora ? Their team is named after a Memphis (TN) hard rock band : Click here for reference otherwise you got the explanation "from the horses mouth" just above
