    Some instructors teach students to have one hand on each handle. There are pros/cons to either method. That's what we did but I'v read about pulling the reserve with both hands... He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

    Well, since you are in the sport with so many jumps, I'd figure it's that

    We had two mock-up harnesses, a suspended one and another one where you just stand up and do the drill, I did the drill with bare hands and gloves, and I was ok at it, my thumb goes trhrough the reserve handle, peeling was ok (I was peeling upwards and not downwards) as was cutaway, I was just thinking about this as I was walking to town today, I was going to ask my instructor when I get to the dz but I wanted to ask you guys as well. Not that I am not going to pull the reserve in malfunction! Simply wondering...don't be too harsh on me

    As I am student I will be jumping with rsl, so if theres a need to cutaway, the reserve will be deployed right away. In that case, do I still pull the reserve? As in, look, locate, peel, cutaway, arch? Or do I pull the reserve anyway? He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

    Yeah I guess, there wher some high clouds a few miles from the dz but it didn't look it's going to get any better, at least, if the weather is good next weekend, I will be able to do more jumps together, as oposed to one this weekend and another next weekend, so I won't be "stuck" in a level. Hopefully! Anyway I still had a good time being at the place, I looked at some of the packers, it didn't look that diffucult so I am hoping by next year to be able to pack my own, even some others and maybe pack on a Saturday to pay for Sunday lifts, but that's still a year a way! Theres always hope!

    So I did my RAPS theory, all about what you do when this and this happens, emergency drills, look locate peel cutaway reserve etc. All that during a fantastic day, it wasn't even cold! Of course we finished too late to jump, then on the next day (today) which was supposed to be jump day, heavy fog allover the dz at 8o' clock. Wait till 10 for the fog to clear and the sky to get dark gray fulll of clouds. Clouds everywhere! I guess better luck next weekend, but I did had a nice look at how the dz works, looking at equipment, chatting to jumpers, good fun, there was a party as well, lots of vomit everywhere!

    I am only 21, I have never had any accidents, I'v never broken a bone in my life, and the only thing a bit dangerous I'v done is freediving. I used to get all kinds of crap from my granparents (I was diving since I was litle at the island where my granpas are) how I could drown, even thought I used to go deeper, for longer, than anyone else of my friends, nothing ever happened to me. Ok so it was only around 70-80feet but I was like 14 at the time so it was a good laugh! I mean, I am stuck with the mentality that nothing is ever going to happen to me, I guess I will get rid of that when I fracture/brake something or as I get older, but whereas everyone I talk to about it seem to be cautious and even worried, I am just excited. Or is it just an age thing? He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

    about skydiving, I am their only kid, my dad doesn't have anyone else in this world but me, and I know I should be streight with them at talk to them about it but I know that they will be worried like hell. I wasn't really thinking about it till my girl was telling (well crying mostly) not to jump this weekend. I told her how it's ok, how I am going to be fine, and that nothing's gonna happen to me, but if she's so scared, I don't know what my mums gonna be like. Also, is it "bad" that I don't consider the sport dangerous? Or will I reconsider my thinking after I have my first jump? He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

    Santorini is an Island in Greece, a long long time ago there was a volcanic eruption that consumed a major part of the island, that formed quite a few escarpments, I'v never been there, but I was thinking if that would make a good place to jump? I am trying to find some pictures of the place but it's mostly tourists pictures, but have a look at this one http://www.heerenvanmalden.nl/wallpapers/santorini-kammeni_1600.html look at far back, it seems like a pretty tall, smooth wall. Note: I am not a jumper, I was just wondering if this is possible
