I might suggest two harnesses, a climbing harness to which you attach the balloons, via a 3 thring set up, or a connector you could easily cut.... This way you can get off the thing in hurry if you need to, probably cheaper than a custom built harness.... There was a guy who did this in the UK last summer I think...Pete Stone sticks in mind, but it sounds too goofy for Pete.. about 10 years ago a guy tried this in Florida, he used a deck chair, and took an air pistol (BeBee gun?) to control his ascent/descent rate. I think he's dead now though. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Aw Phil, don't take personally, just having a larrf you know.... I thought you would be glad to see the heat off, after your wee faux pas this morning. Rangers, oh you mean the soccer team....

Umm seeing as how I'm already close to the edge....... "rub it in his face that we can jump and his rig is in another country... " Nyaaah, nyaaah, nyaaah, HH you can borrow mine anytime-grovel, grovel.... "...call him by his real name..." I don't think Willem would like that much "better yet, call him by his real name on the dz.com forum...." I see no reason whatsoever why the respected Mr Grobler should be abused like this..... "even better, post photos of the mysterious sangiro for everyone to see..."

Tonite, drink beer, change diapers, feed wee one, walk dawg. Tomorrow, Post whore, edit video, drink beer, change diapers, feed wee one, walk dawg. Sunday, Post whore, edit video, drink beer, change diapers, feed wee one, walk dawg. See a pattern forming here? Okay maybe, if the weather is fine, I'll go jumping, but right now it doesn't look promising. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"But not for students?" Logic being, students won't know what to do in the event of line cutting being required...eg reserve lineover. Whereas, as soon as a jumper is off student status, they magically acquire this knowledge, often without any brief whatsoever! I don't make the rules Erno, if I did, there wouldn't be any! -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

I used to have PdF soft links on a previous riser set up 96-98 ish.... At the time they were fitted it was recommended that a 'male snap' popper thing was installed to retain the metal ring. With this set up I never had any problems, but the 'hole' required to fit the snap made me think.....I put about 600 jumps on this setup without incident. Thinking out load here....why don't riggers just tack the ring, or tab in place on the riser, to stop it 'floating' or working loose? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
