Do you exercise 3 times a week for an hour? An hour of really getting that heart rate up there. The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

I am going to watch my rig being put togather and learn all of the componets of my rig. I will let someone show me exactly where I would need to cut if I made that decsion. If I ever have any doubt about having a landable canopy...I will chop it at my hard deck (2500) The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.
-
I practice my emergency procedures before my jumps......I will cuttaway a malfunctioned canopy if I need to, I just do not want to make something simple into something worse. (example) cutting away line twist at 3500. Mabe not a BIG problem made more serious. My question was to know if a perfectaly good canopy should be cuttaway if you can control the rear risers........if you have a stuck toggle . No control over open canopy, line over , line twists that do not work out by my hard deck (2500), slider still at top of canopy, these are a few reasons I would chop........... The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

I was talking about some one else actually, but I do remember your cuttaway. The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

What are you refering to when you say cut. the line? What exactly is being cut????? How will that help? The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

I am 100 pounds jumping a 135 Sabre 2. I want to avoid a chop unless my canopy has an issue. I think landing with the rear risers would be a better choice if the canopy is open with the slider all the way down. I have never chopped before. The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

What am I doing wrong my post and replys are being doubled? The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

I do not know, but I had a friend who fought a stuck toggle one time. I want to be ready to take action for situation that may unfold under canopy........ The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

In the unlikely event a toggle is stuck on opening and will not budge is it better to leave the other toggle in place and land the canopy with the rear risers or cuttaway. ( for someone that has never cuttaway before) ? Asumeing the stuck toggle is not causing any problems ( accept that it is stuck) and you have a open canopy with slider all the wat down(. I know that I would not pull on the other toggle because you lose valueable altitude if you are any any type of spin.) The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

Canopy with line twists under 1000 ft.
freebird replied to rendezvous's topic in Safety and Training
Have there been any of cases where the risers have prevented a cuttaway because of the line twist were too hard. I am refering to the yellow cable being jammed due to the line twist and does not allow you to cutta away? The longer you wait ........the more sense you get. -

Yes I was. I ordered my container from Spaceland. ( a Javelin) I was ordering my canopies this past weekend. The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

Where exactly is this bridle protector flap on the new javelin? Is the flap protecting the BOC pouch or the bridle routed from the pin to the end of the right flap?? Help me out here..... The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

I m sorry. Did not know it was against the law to pay for a kidney. Never mind... I can not pay you ............. Unless you want to do it out of the kindness of your heart.............. The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

Sorry then. I take it back . I did not know it was against the law. I have seen numerous web sites from people from all over the country post the same type of request. But oh well. The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

i have a child . I have to respond. I think that a person needs a relly good sense of themselves before they start sklydiving. Does he? Can he handle a malfunction, if it were to occur? I think he should wait. 14? That is too young to be jumping out of an airplane. That is what I think. Don't get mad at me please> I am just responding to a thread........:) The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

Are you O or B blood type and in good health. My soon to be husband will give you$3000. dollars for a kidney. Im not jokong. My kidneys do not function well enought o give him mine. I was VERY upset about that. I hope he can get a kidney before his fail . His are only working at 19%. The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

I have a plan . Im going to buy a pretty little wedding dress and susprise him. I will say lets go get married. My mom dates a judge who marries people for a living. The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

WE will be at Spaceland in the morning. Getting the canopies. He is not rich. That is why he can not get both now. Eventually he will get something. I believe I will always have skydiving in my life. It changed my life in a positive way. He needs a kidney. Mine are only working at 70 precent. I was going to give him mine, but the transplant team said NO!. I have to have both of mine. I think that this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I will take a few refresher jumps with my new rig before I jump again on my own. The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.

IM happy to get a rig instead of an engagement ring . The rig has 6 rings! I believe that he must really love me if he is getting me such a nice rig . Yes free. Like an engagement ring would be! :) I just wish he would tell me when............. When the hell is the f****** DATE??????????? The longer you wait ........the more sense you get.
