    Thanks that will give me some info to search with. I was unsure if it was some sort of bail out or static line rig.
  9. Anvilbrother
    I know its military, possibly static line? Im looking for info about what it is and how it should look packed for a display. Possibly a military packing manual? I tried entering the numbers that were on it but the info panel is partially filled out. Thanks Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,

    I understand yours was built custom for you. Was that a one time deal, or does the rig mfg offer that to anyone on an as needed basis? Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,
  11. Anvilbrother
    Yes I stated that in my first post that under 23d the mfg can set higher limits. What is your harness rated for? In any rigging system it is only strong as the weakest link. Your canopy could hold a certified 1000 lbs but if the harness can only hold 254 that is the limit. Your still over at 295 anyways. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

    Type 8 and large rings only, but my rig was built for 360lbs max weight at 174 knots It also weights 47 lbs with the aad installed so it is a box of bricks on your back. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,

    Exactly why I posted this thread. I wanted to see if there was a market for a higher TSOd gear, and possibly show the Container and Canopy makers. I know there are high costs involved with R&D, and getting a TSO, but maybe.
  14. Anvilbrother
    What I understand is TSO C23c is max #254, and TSO C23d is #245 with the MFG option to go higher typically #300. So are you over that limit with your out the door weight(gear, helmet, shoes, suit, camera, ect.? Thanks for the answers Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

    The more things you put next to your thigh or hip in a pocket, the more it will hurt when you land on it also. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,

    Ok I give. I was not offering that advise as part of the sims, or part of anything common. Only something that is known, practiced and tried before either bad or good. What would you do sir if you were in a tree and for whatever reason could not sit anylonger. Be it time, weather, or injury? Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

  18. Anvilbrother
    Yea like I said above, it is probbaly rare in the U.S. that you would not be found with in hours, but other countries might be different, and even in the U.S. a person might not be able to hold out anymore due to the environment, injuries, or being in the harness. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,
  19. Anvilbrother
    All I was saying is what if no help comes. What would you do. Wait one day, two, a week? Things happen, the chance that you could not be found while landing off near a busy dz in the U.S. is probbaly low. What about a off landing in a part of the country where the temps go below freezing at night, or in another country where training, and rescue personnel is non-existent and you have to rely on yourself. I posted the sims is bullshit in frustration at the time, but what I meant was the SIM stops short and says to sit and wait, and nothing else. I was told, and know the SIM was learned and wrote in blood by the jumpers before us, and such a desperate and risky chance to use your reserve to climb down, but it is an option if there are none other.

    I stated everything from the sim even stating 2 times to stay in the tree, but if help never arrives gave 2 options to try to escape. What the SIM says is bullshit. If help never comes and you don't try something there would be skeletons hanging in trees. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,
  21. Anvilbrother
    I stated 2 times that the best course is to stay put...did you not read that?? I said IF you had in situations like rescuers did not come to help, the alternative is to try to use self rescue as a last resort. I bet most jumpers would attempt to climb down after a day of hanging in a harness. I also said to read the SIM a couple times, and talk to your instructor in case of bad info. Did anyone else have a problem with the advice? nice personal attack tho. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,

    oops forgot to answer your tree hanging question. The ideal thing is to sit and wait if you are more than 10-15 feet off the ground. If you are not rescued then and have to get down you can disconnect your rsl and deploy your reserve WITHOUT CUTTING AWAY from your main. You can then try to use the suspension lines on the reserve to climb down. If your really high and have to get down. You can try to swing to the trunk of the tree, bear hug it then cut away your main and attempt to slide down the tree. Like I said above your best bet is to stay in the harness and be very still to prevent yourself from becoming detached from what is holding you up ie breaking a tree branch off.

    Depends. If you are high enough and able to steer into the wind and land in a open area do so. If you find yourself in danger fast your priorities are keeping the parachute over your head ie not in a hard turn, slow down if you can, and protect your body. If landing in a tree that means arms tight to your side legs together, if your about to impact ground that means a parachute landing fall manuver. If water, loosen straps, judge depth of water, and prepare to cut away once your feet enter water so that you can get some distance from yourself and the parachute that could cover you and make it hard to swim. All this is described in the SIM that I linked above. You should read it from front to back a few times, talk with your instructors for sure incase I left out details, or mis guided you on something.

    We bet a rookie this week to do it. He had it in there for a good 30 seconds then the red cloud came out and he ran for water lol. Well worth the 1.29 at wal-mart Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,

    No unless the rigger was negligent in his work it is just left up to chance that a double malfunction happens. They do but they are rare, and can usually be prevented by good gear maintenance, and following the skydiver SIMs http://www.uspa.org/PUblications/SIM/2007SIM/SIM.htm Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.
