Because Tyvek is water proof I would imagine. Ever see a paper card accidentally get washed, or go pond swooping? And get a Zebra F-301 in fine point. You'll be surprised, cheap too! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I try to mostly do that. And I never argue with him. I just shoot the odd arrow at his balloon full of gas. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

They don't have horns Ron. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

correct, but there still are 'paper' cards issued by a certain manufacturer. I would mention their name but I've already destroyed 2 threads doing so.

It's nice if the card follows the canopy. But there are thousands of canopies out there in use as reserves without complete documentation. There is no rule requiring it. Except possibly in some European Nanny States. Find a rigger with better customer service! Or, as someone else has said, it would be a shame if you accidentally lost the card. Happens all the time.

Cards are generally made from Tyvek, not paper. Not all pens will write in it. I've have good results with Zebra 301 fine point black pens. They are very common and easy to find. Walmart, Staples, and even commonly available in truck stops as they are also very good for logbooks. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Was there ever any report on exactly what went wrong there? I've only heard rumours and innuendo. But I also know the hesitator loop was added at least partly in response. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

This is what happens when new jumpers buy new gear. They generally get the largest canopy they can possibly squeeze into the smallest container so that they can have "room to downsize". You have given yourself the most difficult pack job you possibly can to learn on. Keep trying to learn, or get a hybrid canopy that is less slippery, or get a larger container, or hire packers until the slippery canopy is more broken in.

I don't. The US needs a strong CEO to lead the country. Well....as a liberal progressive person, I would rather see 4 years of Trump's bumbling ineffectiveness than watch Pence/Ryan efficiently pursuing their right wing agenda. Except of course for that whole CinC thing. That's an awfully powerful toy for an incompetent man to be given as a plaything.

get some more experience with it and then come back and tell us what you think then - I expect you'll change your mind (you must be pretty quick with bands though. good stuff) I prefer old school bags as well. But I'm pretty sure stowless will be faster once you are used to it. Especially if you take into account broken rubber bands and the time needed to change them.

It does not matter what the reason is. The cross connected RSL offers absolutely no advantages at all, only disadvantages. It needs to go away. Keep up the good work. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

The R rats are just beginning to jump off of the good ship Trump. I think it's almost time to start a pool. How many more days can he last? There is no one thing yet that I believe will bring him down. But there is no way that he can go much longer without making a final fatal error. We'll know the game is up when even Marc gives up on him. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

But you won't recommend it to someone in it's standard configuration? You state that people need to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures. When those differ significantly from the standard taught worldwide, it is a serious problem. Please do what you can to fix that problem. MARDS do not change EPs. That is one of their strengths.

Two questions. How do you define "climate alarmist" and how do you define "fact"? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Oh Ron. You've outdone yourself now. I just can't stop laughing. I mean it, seriously! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

It's nice to see that you are taking on the task of moving the Racer system into the future. But please, don't fall into the old habit I've seen from Parachute Labs. Namely pointing out problems you perceive with UPT products instead of addressing your own. This is not only untrue, it is irrelevant. Unless you mean an incorrectly rigged Skyhook. But I don't want to discuss UPT designs here. You will go far only if you get out of this very bad habit that I've seen time and again from the principles of your company. Address your problems like you are and let others address their own problems. At a time when everyone else is developing or marketing MARDs PL needs to finally understand that RSLs are now standard equipment on nearly all new rigs. If you want to market to new jumpers....well, judging by your comments I think you already know what needs to be done. I can understand what you mean by the cross connected RSL not being deleted anytime soon. But perhaps it could become optional only. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Nice. Now if only that could somehow become the default RSL and the original cross connected style become either optional, or better yet discontinued, I would be able to stop warning new jumpers about the potential hazard. Are user/rigger instructions for this going to be added to the manual? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Yes, but it's an option you have to know enough to ask for. Actually it is discussed with the customer if they ask about an RSL. We do not lead them blindly into using either RSL, we give them information on both (including emergency procedures) and let them make the decision. That's nice. If they call you. And if they ask about the RSL. It needs to be in the manual, and it is not. Friendly telephone calls count for nothing in this sort of matter. Why would a newbie jumper ask about it unless they already had some knowledge? They would just assume their RSL is not a hazard. It has happened.

It's just as believable as anything in The Holy Bible. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Terrible years: unemployment DOWN uninsured DOWN stock market WAY UP GDP UP Military deaths DOWN etc. But poor people are getting medical care at the expense of the state, homosexuals have gained rights, there was talk about immigration reform including a path to citizenship, and worst of all an effort was being made to reduce CO2 emissions. In other words, your nation was about to fall apart from the terrible progressive excesses. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Yes, but it's an option you have to know enough to ask for. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Yes, God does not do politics. Even Jesus said to "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" Don't let zealots bring faith into politics. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

If you guys are going to recommend Racers here that's fine. But don't forget to mention the dangerous RSL setup to the new jumpers. It matters. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
