  14. I assume that "today" really means "today" in which case I claim first rights to that thought because I had it back in 1969.

  15. get someone with a powered para glider to take you up for a hop and pop. know some base guys that do that. not sure if that would be illegal though. don't think you have to have a pilots lic to fly one, but ask someone that has one. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

  17. as a person that wants to get into base, reading the list help me take a step back and realize that just jumping into something with out fully understanding the risks could be fatal. i had an oppertunity to jump but realizing the risk and my experince in skydiving, and knowing that the object to be jumped wasn't the best for the first time, thanks in part to the list. made me step back and reconsider what i was doing at that time. getting someone to stop and think for a second about their actions will always be a good thing, the list does just that. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

  21. I was jumping a Cobra 150 (similar to a Sabre 150). I had modified velcroless risers. I opened up in line twists. I couldn't kick out of them like I thought I could. When not kicking the canopy had a slow turn. I didn't think why that might be happening but I grabbed the rear riser opposite the turn and hauled on it. It slid the entire line group which steared the canopy out of the line twists. Once out of the twists I realised a brake had fired on opening causing the twists. I saw that I would land off the airport and realised I had ridden the twists down below 1,000 AGL. VERY DUMB!! What if I had not gotten out the twists. I did not have a landable/controllable canopy below 1,500 AGL and I should have chopped. It worked out for me but I definitely felt later that I should have chopped and it made me understand how easy it is for people to ride slow malfunctions too long then chop too low to the ground and die. I was a fairly experienced pilot even at that time and should have known better. I had cutaway experience before so wasn't afraid to do it. Hard deck. It's there for a reason no matter how minor you think it is. Really give it some thought as to whether you can land it safely or not. In my case, landing those twists would probably not have killed me had I been in an open area. But I definitley couldn't control it to avoid obstacles if need be. I should have chopped. I personally think slow speed malfunctions are worse than high speed malfunctions. Yet high speed malfunctions seem to get everyone's attention. It's probably human nature. almost the same thing i did but my canopy was flying straight just had a lot of twist in it and didnt get it cleared untill 800ft really stupid on my part. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
