  2. Just to clarify. Action Air Parachutes is not making a rig. The company is Trident Harness and Containers, Inc. Located on the same DZ tho.... The rig is called the Viper.

  17. Go for the reserve. I'd take the down winder just for fun, but I see nothing wrong with changing the plan. If I was woried about people not reading the change, I'd land off. Give the other skydiver the pull sign and wave off at the camera man. Track for safe seperation UNLESS it means busting my preset deployment hard deck. I'd then take my chances with the possibility of the collision. Nothing really, they needed to check their gear more carefully. This is a problem? It's just more fun! I'd land it on risers (93 Xaos- yeah baby!) TELL THEM! Then tell the DZO, DZM, S&TA, and anyone else who will listen. -added- This is serious, yes the harness is TSOed for one hook, but control may be dificult/imposible. Ever seen a Tandem side spin? Most scary skydiving video I've ever seen. Leave the door closed and tell the pilot. It's his/her call. Turn. Make it flat. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

  21. Thanks for the post. I've spent hours before pouring over that info befor this. I guess I should just make the point I was hinting at. It seems that there is a trend for people to consider an RSL as "training wheels" and when they start to belive they are a super-duper wiz bang expert skydiver they have it removed. Perhapse it gives them a feeling of rebelion, or maybe a sense of control because they made a decision about how their gear is going to be set up. Whatever the reason an informed skydiver can make that decision. Unfortunately I think many remove their RSL due to peer pressure. If (as someone stated) RSL's are only for students, and low timers why are RSL's included on Tandem Gear where you have an (arguably) expert skydiver in comand? In all of the fatality reports I cannot find any that lead to the RSL being root of the incident. Other than the Racer Style dual RSL I cannot find the RSL has been a contributing factor in a Fatality. On the other hand there are many instances of Cutaway and NO/LOW reserve pull situations. Now the same situation can result in a Cutaway and CYPRES fire. The ultimate point is make your own informed decisions, and allow others to make their own. Please people, don't do someone (especialy newer jumpers) the dis-service of raming your opinion down their throats. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. People have mentioned these to me before, but when asked they cannot give me an example (except for Racer RSL's) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
