Do we need a Hook Turn -- Bounce Book?
xwind replied to ZigZagMarquis's topic in Safety and Training
People don’t learn from shock value. You only have to ask yourself, when last did I drink and drive? After all the shock value adds on tv? Hook turns will stay and so will the injuries. Wingsuit South Africa -
I would like to know what the incident rate is for show jumps. Injuries per number of jumps Fatalities per number of jumps Anyone got numbers for these? Wingsuit South Africa

What was the average flocking speed (fall rate)? Wingsuit South Africa

Schweet! Time slows down between the moment you place an order and when you receive it. Wingsuit South Africa

Can anyone with a Crossfire 2 please tell me what length I should make the brake line toggle loop to ensure that I don’t pull the brakes when I do a front riser turn. Thanks. Wingsuit South Africa

Here is a better pic. Does not look like a steering line. At time of chop i was at 1.5k. Since it was my first reserve ride i figured i needed the altitude more than the canopy. Wingsuit South Africa

Picture of my malfunction attached. As you can see the slider is stuck on the left in some sort of pressure knot. I tried to clear the knot by pulling the riser and releasing. This did not help. Ran out of altitude before I could try anything else. Of course it was not possible to determine the cause of the problem when the canopy was retrieved. I am trying to figure out: 1. What caused the pressure knot? 2. Would it have helped to unstow the brakes? 3. What else could I have tried? I am pretty sure it was not a packing error since the lines were all clear and stowed very neatly. Wingsuit South Africa

The ZP.EXE is made by Parachute Systems http://www.parachutesystems.co.za/ Did my first 100 or so jumps on a 170. Very nice canopy no complaints. I can definitely recommend it The price for a new one in ZAR is about R7000 This is currently $1000. Secondhand will be about R4500 which is about $650 Looks like a fair deal. Wingsuit South Africa

All I can say is: PAC 750 XL When that thing starts flying you better be ready for some serious flocking. Wingsuit South Africa
