It was a real pleasure to meet a cool bunch of people. We'll have to do it again soon. Thanks guys. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Check out this video (25 MB). Starts about 4 minutes 48 in. Looks like Den, the crazy Russian, buzzing canopies along a beach after exiting from a helicopter and pulling low. Total canopy time is about 7 seconds. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Yes, I'll probably be there around then since I'm close too. It makes it too easy if anyone is wearing a skydiving t-shirt, pull-up, daybag, or pack boy so make it more fun for people to play "spot the skydiver" by not giving it away (for those that don't already know each other, obviously!)

I thought it was the going to be the "traditional" one on Charing Cross Road? Because the pubs used to be called the same, this used to cause confusion previously with skydivers in the other Moon's wondering where everyone was! Well, fortunately for us, Wetherspoons have now changed the name. It's now called Montagu Pyke and is part of their Lloyd's No.1 chain, which is perhaps why it now plays music. The one on Leicester Square can get pretty cramped and busy, but this one has the largest floorspace of any pub in London apparently. So which one is it to be?

Is it my imagination, or is the image used in the screen the popular valley in Switzerland where a lot of BASE jumping takes place? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Update from James: I'd just like to add my own thanks to Clausy Mousy and Art. They were and are absolute superstars. Without them, Christine's (and her parent's) experience would have been much, much worse. If you ever see them or meet them, thank them and buy them a beer! Good news!

A couple of nice close up pictures of the exit: 1 2 from Alec Muffet's Alec and [url "http://www.basejump.ru/photo/ostol6/index.html">Tolis, although these seem to predominantly feature Russians. Tolis had some absolutely outstanding pictures on his laptop but I haven't seen then online anywhere yet. The website he said they would be on isn't available yet.

You may not be able to win any cool BASE stuff but you can also sponsor another British jumper, BASE802, who is also attempting this challenge. Please give generously, all money goes to CARE Internation UK You can sponsor his team here Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

What's the intended target market/purpose of this suit? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Same applies to my laptop, since they want to see it working, but I don't want it to get damaged, dirty, or noticed unecessarily, but I still carry it in a case. Yes, ok, it's not specifically designed to be worn but why draw attention? Besides USPA's own advice is that screeners should no longer be surprised by x-ray imagery of rigs and that they should be inside a suitable container, and will help in the event of an unexpected opening without the ability to close it.

That would be me! Live in Harrow, work in Soho, jump at Langar. Do a Google groups search on london skydiver piss up for an idea. We used to meet up at the Weatherspoons pub, The Moon under the Water on Charing Cross Road (although I think it has recently changed it's name, it's the old Marquee club), because it has the largest floorspace of any pub in London (I'm sure you can imagine how much space 50 skydivers take up!), as a Weatherspoons pub they don't play any music so it makes it easier to talk (although that policy may have changed recently) and they have a very good selection of relatively cheap food and booze. The piss-ups were generally more popular during the winter when there was less jumping going on and it was dark and horrible outside so people could talk about skydiving since they couldn't actually do it. Summer piss-ups weren't very well attended, especially around the boogie/competition season as we are now, when people are getting their fill of skydiving. Also, depending on the group size, would recommend against a pub crawl, people will be coming and going at all times and it would be like herding cats. Still, I'd be up for a drink or twelve with those who are central and easily able to get together for a drink. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Yeah, I thought so too. So, let's make this more of an instructors thread. It looks like there is a secondary drogue release on the cutaway pad. What would you have done? Worried about the primary or gone straight to the secondary? My drill is unable to locate primary, locate secondary. I hadn't considered what I would do if the cameraguy handed the primary to me! But then, we don't put the handle on students in the UK so that would be improbable. Deployment is about 60 seconds after exit so it would appear to be getting "down there". Difficult to tell but I'd say it looks about 5000 feet. Can't make out what it says on the student's altimeter. Watching it again, I like the little wave-off the instructor gives underneath the student! Don't mean any disrespect to the instructor, I think he did a great job! Just interested in what others think. Looks like the release uses a Fastex clip to attach it. Is this a common method of securing the handle? I've only ever seen it with velcro and poppers.

Not sure whether to put this here or in Photography and Video! I've just approved an interesting video on skydivingmovies where the cameraman locates a floating ripcord and hands it back to the instructor, who after failing to reattach it to the harness, decides to deploy it whilst still holding on to it! You can see it here. Cool! Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live
