let me know how that works out for you. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

para-flite eos as well, but i thought it was towards the floor rather than outboard on both rigs. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

i did a search but didn't find much. who competes with para-gear for materials and tools? thanks for the help. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

it looks more like it was hand deployed to me, but i can't tell definitively. the use of a round parachute with a seperable deployment device seems to be an excellent design for this situation. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

1. if you beat a packer with a crowbar and nobody is around, does he make a noise? 2. what's the difference between a good take-off, and a bad take-off? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

i would say that switching a reserve container from chest type to back type would be an alteration. being part of the design of the rig would merely make it approved by the manufacturer. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

here's what works for me: from the boarding area until we have left the landing area NOTHING is more important in my life than my students safety. second most important is that i do my best to make this day as special as it can be for my student. if you ever notice yourself thinking about anything except those two things you have not done your best for your student. rule 1 is mandatory, but i have had days where i forgot rule 2. i can tell you for a fact, the job doesn't feel like a job when you are helping the student get the most out of the experience. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

PD coats the spectra lines on their reserves? it sure doesn't feel like it to me. what are noticing that makes you say the lines are coated? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

good point Mike. i stand corrected. let's get this thread back on track, what would you recommend to help this poor guy out? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

you have a good point. another reason to go with an airtec product would be you own a rigging innovations container. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

i can understand, and respect your opinion on the matter. i do not think riggerrob was joking, so i will have to respectfully disagree with you. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

it doesn't seem that unusual to me. why would a manufacturer give you proprietary information to resolve an asthetics issue? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

from the aspect of safety, it is a bad idea. you could do it a million times without a problem, but if something goes wrong, it will go horribly wrong. from the aspect of liability, it is professional suicide. in any lawsuit involving such behavior, the "deep pockets" will throw you under a bus. seems like alot of risk(death, dismemberment, end of a career) for not much reward(garaunteed tight shot on exit). pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

i would think the bridle would create enough drag to release the secondary PC. even if the bridle was in the jumpers burble. i actually have video of how dynamic a bridle cought in a jumpers burble can be. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

true enough, in this case it was the first jump of the day after a good night's rest. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

phone call. he said keep an eye on the symptoms. i have been feeling perfectly normal for hours now. i doubt i will need treatment since the symptoms have abated. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

that does not negate the possibilty that a well adjusted, complex "guy" would not find humor in any part of this situation. o.k. now it gets fun, here is what someone posted in your defense: i find that statement to be steeped in irony since it is about you. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

i would love to tell you, but i'm afraid you will view it as non-sequitor. would this be a bad time to mentiion that threads don't have a "life"? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

today, i had a hard opening on a tandem jump. i debriefed my student, and then harnessed and helped with the training on my next student. at about the ten minute call i noticed that i was feeling nauseous. i knew that was a symptom of head injury, but i hadn't hit my head. i decided not to do the jump and was replaced with another instructor. on my way home, the road i normally take was closed, i found this situation confusing even though i know different routes for the 1.5 mile journey. when i got home i couldn't understand why i couldn't get my keys out of the ignition. it was because i had never taken the car out of drive. if you had asked me at the five minute call to take the student, i still would have said no, but i would have been 99.99% sure he would be o.k. if he went with me. twenty minutes later i was having difficulty managing a machine i'm familiar with through territory i'm familiar with. i'm happy i made the right call, in retrospect i would have gotten somebody to drive me home. i hope that helps, or reminds some of us. it sure was a big reminder to me. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

there's actually four. somewhere in the Foundation series is the zero law of robotics. a robot may not allow harm to come to humankind. it actually creates a loophole for the first law. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
