    Not all the time - I've seen a rig with 3 mals in 10 jumps, and I know people with over 2000 jumps without a mal. Look at me, I'm falling off a cliff now - The Offspring

    Too right - one of the coolest people I've met in skydiving was a packer, and he worked his ass off all day. Look at me, I'm falling off a cliff now - The Offspring

    When you think a pro-track set at 115db is barely audible in freefall, you think you could hear a Md player? Under canopy yes - but then you need your ears in case someone is shouting for you to get out of the way or something like that. There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    As I discussed before, this is why I like the idea of getting gear checks before being allowed to get on the plane. There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    Wouldn't it be better to put all these in one post? How exactly did this happen anyways? There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    Just practice what you're going to do in the air, and keep going through emergency drills. There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    You lived, you learned. That's the important bit. Plus, you're teaching others about it and not denying all knowledge of it. Cheers !!

    Sure, no worries. It is a good idea, but I don't think it's essential as long as the person trying FF has his / her head screwed on and knows what's going on. There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    You're taking my opinion to the extreme edge there. I've got 81 jumps and a superfly, no FS1, but on my solo dives I FF. I also have a protack etc. There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    How about unplugging the trailer, and plugging him in !! There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    We're getting a new TM at out DZ and the CCI wants an experienced skydiver to do a tandem with her for a check out dive and I've volenteered for it. Has anyone else done this? What's it like relying on someone else to be in full control and not going for the pull yourself? There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    When I was a student (doing RAPS), i was going out first out of a 206 with a tandem in it. The higher we got, the more she was getting worried. We got up to 10k, and opened the door and my instructor checked the spot. I got in the door, and he pushed me out and the woman was like "OH MY GOD - WHAT'S HE DOING ??!!!". I almost cried with laughter on the ground after I was told that !!! There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    In my opinion, if your doing a solo dive, why not FF if you want? Belly flying can be a little dull by yourself, so I think it's ok to FF. In groups however, i think it's better to stick to belly flying. There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    366 way eh? We'll need some sort of tray for everyone to sit on for launch. I wonder if pro-tracks etc will beep at 1000 - can they react to climbing that quickly? I know they take samples at 4Hz on the way down. There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    Have a look at this - this poll has been done before with quite a few results. There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    There's no way a skydiver could survive the g forces of that catapult - it launches a fully loaded plane at (like you said) about 140 knots. A skydiver weighs a little bit less than an F-14, so he will be launched faster. They did a test and calculated that one of these catapults could launch the cab of a truck over 2 (or was it 3) miles away. Still a nice plan though - I'll give it a go !! Better than just complaining about no pilot etc. There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring

    I would say CHOP when I realise that I have a mal. If my main opens and I'm not sure about landing it safely, my decision height is around 2000. There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me - The Offspring
