    James, I can't understand why a longer bridle would tend to entangle the PC and the brakes. I am a partisan of "longer" bridles (like 9ft) and "bigger" PC's, say bigger than the ridiculously short and small PC's you can sometimes find on skydiving gear, specially when considering the sometimes heavier canopies they have to lift. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    not REALLY.. you need to double your instructors, plus it wouldn't be the safest. In addition a 5m is MUCH more expensive than say a 4m, and it uses much more electricity too.... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    you could run it with 2 200lbs big kids/students. But as I am not a tunnel coach of any sort, don't know if it is a great idea to fly multiple first timers at the same time. Then you have the Dubai twin tunnel to fly two in parallel tunnels

    check their pics in the galleries, plus check youtube for "bodyflight challenge". a bit more than 4m ish scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    it's a Bodyflight tunnel, recirculating, round. More a tube than glass walls, onaly a couple of windows here and there, so not the best for viewers, but great for flyers, Less distraction. And generally (at least with adult skydivers) the flyer is the payer, so better for them.... http://www.bodyflight.co.uk/about/ scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    my favorite would be the Bedford type, for the ease of entry/exit between slots (by this I mean the access to pre-flight chamber). If you need to pee after 2 minutes, you can go pee, and not need to wait for the next 15-30 minutes... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    well different local rules, as in Switzerland there is no (AFAIK) age limit... There are a lot of different local rules throughout the world which differ from USPA rules and regulations, and not all apply. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    would that also apply for foreign USPA group members ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    You wouldn't be concerned about a 12' bridle? more chances to get out of the burble .. or to do a really safe PCA scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    no it won't, but it will cover the asses of the people who risk their businesses in case of an incident. It means that the TI is regularly checked and is more or less in a good medical shape. You can still have a stroke in freefall the day after your medical, like your Cypres could fail teh day after the revision. It is not a guarantee, it is just a CYA check. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
