    The information exists. Some people have it. We need to find a way for everyone to have it.

    Any advice will be much appreciated

    Would a student cypres 2 have made a difference with its slower descent rate trigger parameters (descent exceeds 29 mph) or does that introduce to many new problems with normal canopy flight?

    in the case of a static line hangup i would have thought cutting away would do nothing, as your attached to the aircraft by the static line and not the lines/risers. normal procedure is for the instructor to cut your static line and you pull the reserve . if the student failed to do so then there would definately be a requirement for an aad.

    You cann add these to your list if you want. 1 opened so hard it totaly knocked all the wind out of me, left me gasping for air, panting. 2 opened so hard it hyperextended my left knee, left me so daised and confussed I chopped linetwist at 1800 ft. couldn't get the momentium to kick out with the damanaged knee, couldn't figure what else to do. _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan

    Just a pondering.

    if so, why was this bankrobber not worried that he could get shot by a citizen

    Until you have your B (50 jumps + CH2 + JM1), you cannot jump a full face helmet

    have tried various nose roll and line stow techniques to slow the opening-as well as burying the slider as deeply

    I'm sure those who've died after unintentional water landings thought the same thing...

    but you do need to fullfill the requirements for both in order to get a D.

    It is really quite common

    edit to add: What's so great about driving standards anyway?

    >>and I think its only handicam footage. how lame Yeah, there was about 5 seconds of outside video trying to show a formation of "flying elvis" building on the tandem. I think I counted 8 but it was hard to tell with all the flaling, and everyone dressed the same. _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan

    Back in the day AAD's were placed on mains instead of reserves. _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan

    With all due respect (look at my jump numbers I humbly admit I know nothing about this sport)

    My cry of "Bullshit" was to the comment of it's "Education." Exposure and education are two very different subjects

    Now where was I…… that's right I'm off to skydive.

    Please correct me, but the Pilot manual states not to role the nose. The PD manual says to role 4 to center per side. I think this is what the jumper is seeing, a difference in packing. _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan
