    Intentionally? And without harm to a jumper? Or are you referring to those who died using them during the last century?

    One word: SPANDURA (although it is not popular, yet). It is supposed to be a great combo of spandex "streachability" and cordura durability.

    Yes, Patrick de Gayardon did a similar thing, flying low over the mountain summit. He talks about it on "Good Stuff", but it is kind of hard to understand...

    Why isn't a pull-out PC anchored at the apex, then? What is the advantage to have it anchored at the base??? Wouldn't the pull-out PC anchored at the apex be the best of both worlds??? This would be like a pull-out PC that you can throw-out!

    More details please... That's sounds really bad...

    But it's not this particular one where he flies "3 meters from the ground passing two skiers". I am looking for this one!
  15. skydiverek
    Where is thst VIDEO or PHOTO of this particular "120 kmh, 3 meters from ground!" flight ????

    I heard that French certifications are much tougher. Can anybody elaborate on that?

    So is it safe to jump with a wet reserve?
  18. skydiverek
    And what TV station do you represent?
  19. skydiverek
    Where can I see this photo (or video?)?
  20. skydiverek
    I have always wondered - why? What's the reason for not activating below 130'? I know at that altitude the reserve will not have time to open fully, but if you are gonna go in, why not have it deployed by CYPRES anyways, maybe it is gonna snag the tree, or something?

    Does the Vector Reserve Pilotchute fabric let the air thru, then?
  22. skydiverek
    Ok, so the slider will just sit on the SRC's, right? Also, what keeps the SRC's from sliding up the lines??? Can somebody post photos of SRC's? There is nothing on PD's website...
  23. skydiverek
    What happened???
  24. skydiverek
    Riggers and not only: which one do you think is better? Meshless (like the one on Vector 3, for instance), or the one with partial mesh (like on Mirage G3, for instance)? Advantages or disadvantages?
  25. skydiverek
    One more reason to get CYPRES
