Dave I would have to strongly disagree with your statement. As in a earlier post I show clearly that the skyhook was not the best thing in my situation. Also saying its your riggers problem to understand the omplexity it adds is just silly. You should know how the gear works that you are jumping It works great for students and Tandems. As a first rig goes, I think It would be ok to have a skyhook in it. Just make sure you fully understand how it works. Just like everything out there, there are pros and cons. Just my 2 cents Never give the gates up and always trust your rears!

lol I have to laugh at all the Monday quarterbacks. On that cutaway I felt the main come off my back funny. Thats why I looked up to see what was going on. As I did it started spinning. It was getting fast so instead of kicking out of it I cutaway. As I did that my head went low on release of the risers. Right shoulder was lower then left because of direction of spin. When reserve came out I was staring up at it because I was on my back. Line twist happened because of right shoulder being lower then left causing risers to be uneven hens the line twist. I dont know what released on the skyhook and never asked. All I know is I didn't like the situation I was in and would have rather cutaway then gotten stable to deploy my reserve. Thanks for everyones input and I dont know if we will ever know what really happened.... Never give the gates up and always trust your rears!

I hear ya... It was my first spinner and I nearly crapped my pants I have talked to several riggers on this and the skyhook did what it was suppose to do. It pulled the pin then released because of the pressure. Someone asked earlier in the thread if I rather not have a rsl and the answer is yes. I want to be able to get rid of my main get stable then pull the reserve. If I was low on that cutaway it would not of mattered if there was a rsl or not . With the rsl you see what happened and with no rsl who knows... I want that choice. Never give the gates up and always trust your rears!

Yea it did release but in the video on UPT's web site it shows someone on there back and it working. Take a look here http://www.unitedparachutetechnologies.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=85&Itemid=70 In my case it didnt. Dont get me wrong I think its great in some cases like this dumb ass here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QECtqCRNKxs&feature=related Never give the gates up and always trust your rears!

From what I understand on how the skyhook works. Is if there is more then 10 pounds of pressure it releases from the bridle.( not sure if thats the correct number or not. A rigger could answer it better) In my case thats what happened. From the spinning on my back. Skyhook released. Thats why no RSL for me for now on. Cutaway roll over the deploy reserve.

Who is wrong in this video? near canopy collision

Low man has the right of way. I think there is more too who is right or wrong in this video. It looks like there was a left hand pattern set up... Why were you doing a right hand pattern if so? Keeping your head moving around is the best you can do. Watching for everyone. Even the ones above you.. Never give the gates up and always trust your rears! -

I thought that the first 15 jumps were suppose to be with no video. (No added distraction) I'm not a TI but I thought it was that way. Never give the gates up and always trust your rears!

You are dealing with a extreme sport with extreme personalities. Not everyone is going to get along. I think Dave hit it on the head. You just didn't notice it in the beginning. I have met a lot of assholes in this sport and a lot of really cool people. Why are you at the DZ anyways, to jump or to be liked? Don't let assholes run you off. If you love something , don't let anyone stand in your way. just my 2 cents Never give the gates up and always trust your rears!

In those pictures that rig is a Vector and is what happened to the other two I saw. Again I don't want this to be a beat vector up thread. I just seen it a couple times and its a issue. I am trying to find out what other issues with other rigs are so I can see whats best. Im sure all rigs have issues I would like to just find out what the are..
