Fixed it for you Seriously, start at any one point (preferably not a corner) and gently force the rubber ring into the groove and keep running your fingers over it until it's totally inside the groove. Works without the gel, too.
-
Then install Rockbox or an alternative Linux solution and be free of the Itunes crap for good, and play Doom and Quake, and watch your cool skydiving videos, too!

Keep. . . listening. . . someonesave me it has my brain!!!!!11!
-
Just keep listening.

If you are using iTunes, the answer is I believe yes. Rockbox, no (but no iTunes compatibility either).
-
Just keep listening to it.

How do they disconnect removable pilot chutes and d-bags?

Mel from Skyworks explained it to me as follows: -
Unless you are wearing a parachute! Ehhh, and since the story implies a corellation between the age of the woman and the height of the building... well, I figure I can jump a 18-storey building sort of OK. Now where do I get a woman that age?

And just why would you be asking me of all the featherweights around? I don't know. You could call them and ask maybe?

19952, and king beaten 2-0 first try.

Verily so! Though, if you want to spoil me with a beer, who am I to resist?

Up for grabs said certificate. Catch? Have to place the order until May 1. Does not apply to options, rush job, shipping. Applicable for any suit. http://www.merlinsuits.com

No they're not. Go to the L&B website and download the Solo & Optima manuals. There's no mention of the word Dytter in the English versions, and I'm pretty sure there isn't in the Russian either. The Viso manual is not yet available, primarily because the product isn't . And even if the Solo & Optima were called Dytters, they're audible altimeters and the Viso isn't. What the... Ingrid & I did the Russian translations, and I remember being freaked out because the initial manual Mads sent us listed the Optima as OPTIMA PRO-DYTTER. Sure enough, now the English manual only says OPTIMA, but the Russian manual still has it as OPTIMA PRO-DYTTER.
-
Eh, well, technically, Solo is called SOLO PRO-DYTTER and Optima is called OPTIMA PRO-DYTTER in the manual, could be the same thing with the Viso.

What WHAT?

Does it run Quake and play videos? :)

Thanks! I think I'll go without a helmet for the first time just so I can yank it out if it starts to hurt...

So I have a pair of Etymotic ER-6 headphones which seal the ear canal so well I can't hear anything with them inserted even if there is no music. Question is, if I take them on a full altitude freefall skydive, should I expect any problems from rapid air pressure change, considering that the ear canal is sealed nothing short of airtight? ER6 block ambient noise so wonderfully well that I am sure it will be possible to listen to music in freefall... something ordinary headphones have no chance of achieving.

Here's a pic for you. That gripper is heavy-ish cordura, the mesh is like that used on small mesh sliders.

Ehhh, care to elaborate just a bit please?

(The PC) Could you explain what you mean by that...? The obvious, I believe?—that the PC is not attached directly at the apex but rather a bit sideways, causing uneven inflation and airflow orientation. I think it's safe to say this jump's offheading can be attributed solely to the pilot chute oscillating madly like it does—notice that the canopy turns in the same direction the PC is turning. Notably, this manufacturer's pilot chutes come with 4 load-bearing tapes, like seen here.
-
What I thought, thanks...

Does anyone know if any PF dealer still has that "buy a PF wingsuit, get 30% off the second one" deal going on?

There was a minimal tailwind, literally almost no wind at all. As far as I know the jumper uses factory DBS. It has a bit of a forward surge on deployment clearly visible on other videos—surely a sign of DBS that's too shallow? I've had the chance to watch more jumps with this very pilot chute, and I think it's either unevenly attached, or it has a built-in oscillating problem, therefore rendering it unsafe to jump. Curiously, the jumper says that this PC only has 4 load-bearing tapes. I thought 8, or 6 at the least, was pretty much the industrial standard, for even load distribution... The real spooky thing is that there were two identical hang-ups on the exact same balcony that day, April 1st, but I have no information or video about the second one other than the jumper was also unhurt. Cosmic jokes of fortune, eh.

Happened to somebody on April 1. Video here. Take it for granted that the packjob was meticulous and neat. PC is ZP/vented/internal handle/42". Troll MDV 245. Antenna is slightly underhung, has three 4ft balconies protruding on various levels. Jumper had a 180 with no twists, flew beneath the balcony and hung his canopy on it. Jumper unhurt, canopy somewhat torn. To what would you likely attribute the 180 offheading: PC, the head-up body position, or shit happens? Do you notice anything unusual about the PC? I don't think it's really supposed to oscillate like that, for a vented PC.
