What a guy to step up and take one for the team like that! Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

Personally, I just took it for its entertainment value! It is bonfire after all. Stay safe, Mango Mike Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

If that is the case then why have categories for anything? Just lump all together and you can "just ignore" what you want to?*** I think it would be nice to have a category that you can read about peoples jump experiences without having to know about their personal life. What would be wrong with that? If you have a separate category I don't have to ignore anything and they can post until their batteries die!

Okay, I read the post again that I responded to and my post stands! So my question is, are you "irritated" that someone else is self-righteous or you? Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

WOW, someone that is self-righteous calling someone else self-righteous and then being irritated by it!ROTFLMAO! Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

And I am irritated by people that think their opinion is better than anyone else’s and should be the only one heard. Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

I think that we need to have a new category called the "kiddie corner" for those who "have" to post their personal life. Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

It is down right now. Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

Yes, you are correct. I was sitting here looking at a tandem butterfly snap while I was typing. It failed at 5,460lbs. Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

Their concern as far as the harness/container is probably unfounded. I pulled some test that were done a while back and sport rigs were failing at around 8,000lbs and tandems at 14,000lbs. Reserves canopies are running around 3,500lbs. The week link is usually the main risers and that is what you want to fail if something has to. Now lets put the above into perspective. Say that you are 275lbs., that would mean you would have to pull around 30G’s symmetrically to get to harness failure. At that point you are soup. As to the B-12s, they are different than quick releases. B-12s are rated at 2,500lbs. which would give you a 5,000lb. symmetrical failure. They are not a problem and are on about every military rig. There is also a big difference between rated and failure limits. I don’t know of a system out there that fails at 1.2 times the rated capacity. And David is right. We test every lot of material to destruction. That way we not only know if it passed the rated test but what it will go to. And when we test systems, we put load cells on so that we can say that it was an 9.5G opening and not that technical term “that it knocked the crap out of me!” But in the end I will say that you should not exceed the rated limits. There are enough manufactures out that can make a rated TSO system for your weight. Edited thanks to JB Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

I can not confirm or deny the presence of a UFO in my office. Just remember that for probably every ten things that we try in the shop maybe one will see daylight for testing. Except for maybe when we are doing the secret night test jumps out of the stealth black helicopter! Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!
