I never pulled the reserve handle on my last Tandem mal. (I have 18 total chops of which 8 are Tandem) When I saw the RSL had it, I left the handle stowed. On Tandem there are a lot of handles. I already had 2. (Drouge release and cutaway) why add a 3rd? A tandem reserve takes around 1000ft to open, and I was open just above 3000ft. You know within the first 6 feet or so whether or not your RSL has worked. In this case my reserve malfunctioned, but that story is in incidents, here. I think with students its real important to drill that they ALWAYS pull both handles. This was the 1st time I never pulled the handle. The RSL has failed to activate the reserve deployment on 3 of my 7 Tandem mals. Non of my other gear is equipped with an RSL. Edited to add link to incidents. t It's the year of the Pig.

Aloft adv. high up; upwards. t It's the year of the Pig.

I think the key is a connection between people first. If both people skydive - that's better. I'm dating a skydiver, have been for a while now, and it's very good - but for reasons far, far beyond just the skydiving. t It's the year of the Pig.

Ummm . . . why, exactly? Kelly I don't know! Ask them! I'm doing my bit! t It's the year of the Pig.

BWahahahaha! Does your hubby love you? Everything else is just bullshit. Stay with the love! t It's the year of the Pig.

You whore.... I hope you had protection Sure did! I had protection for my protection! And I got video. Several angles, in fact, but all in one take. t It's the year of the Pig.

I've done a 5 point 40 way! Why not aim a little higher? t It's the year of the Pig.

That's a question you'll need to ask the girls. We're doing our bit! Truth is, most men I know are scared shitless of women who skydive. t It's the year of the Pig.

My gold? My Diamonds? I have NO gold (unless you count the printed circuits on this PC) and NO diamonds. And even if I did have them and GWB wanted them.. I'd still want to go to the boogie... t It's the year of the Pig.

No need to apologise. That's the cool thing about a free world. Just don't ask me (and 80% of other skydivers) to understand that meeting a whuffo is more important that sharing your sport with everyone else here. We understand. Off you go now... Bye! t It's the year of the Pig.

So you wouldn't consider your BF the partner of your dreams?.... Oh Dear.... Wonder how long that's going to last. t It's the year of the Pig.

Nah. Just filling the time since I won't be having sex with the woman of my dreams OR going to the DZ.com boogie OR meeting GWB. Fuck. I'd work through my lunch NOT to meet him... t It's the year of the Pig.

Missed me! HAHAHAHAHA! t It's the year of the Pig.

And long may it be so. Just because we're average doesn't mean we need to put up with women like that! We're all rewarded for our choices - one way or another. t It's the year of the Pig.

That's t to you. T is someone else altogether. t It's the year of the Pig.

I thought that men may be less inclined to have sex with George than women. A meeting seemed more prudent. After the meeting, of course, anything could happen... t It's the year of the Pig.

I was shocked to see that 14% of skydivers would prefer to meet GWB than go to the DZ.com boogie. So. This could end the "Sex or Skydiving" debate once and for all. Would you rather meet GWB, or do something else... t It's the year of the Pig.
-
Well, 14% of skydivers don't agree. For some people, GWB is better than skydiving. I've seen the Skydiving better than sex thing... Is GWB better than sex for some people? t It's the year of the Pig.

Dude! Don't use the plural. This is my thread! I know when the DZ.com boogie is! (Thinks... maybe the use of plural is a French Canadian thing...) t It's the year of the Pig.

Instructors: Do you feel like you're paid enough?

Yes. Our pay for hired gun AFF is always slot plus a pack job, everyone else gets more. The idea being, do a dive, get a dive. t It's the year of the Pig.
