    Slider STOPS, not grommets.

    This is explained on the USPA membership card itself. Please refer to it, as I do not have it handy now.

    Why the snaggy Go-Pro on the Tandem Master helmet??? (attached JPG). You would think that the U.S. government would spend $70 for a safer setup, especially for such high profile jumps like that...: http://www.chutingstar.com/newgear_en/square-one-gopro-top-mount.html Why risk the reserve lines entanglement after an unstable breakaway (remember, Skyhooks turn into normal RSLs during approx 15% of breakaways). There was a Go-Pro related BASE death few years back, and we just had one in Poland a month ago. The jumper had 2300 jumps...: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4354625#4354625 Preliminary REPORT: http://www.transport.gov.pl/files/0/30651/20120845RW.pdf

    Great video on the Infinity rig used for the jumps!: http://www.redbullstratos.com/handlers/view-video.aspx?videoId=1727857630001&id=media1727857630001-1719&title=Parachute%20for%20Stratosphere&sharingTitle=Parachute%20for%20Stratosphere&iframe=true&width=800&height=450&id=media1727857630001-1719&title=Parachute%20for%20Stratosphere&sharingTitle=Parachute%20for%20Stratosphere

    Which would be how many dollars?
  8. skydiverek
    Ditto. That's why I love dropzone.com and am addicted to it .
  9. skydiverek
    And how much will you save? Not much.
  10. skydiverek
    Does the drogue also collapes as soon as it is released?

    In Europe, you HAVE TO send it thru a dealer.
  14. skydiverek
    So, no real negative effect?

    Two harnesses broke on Javelin containers around year 2004.
  16. skydiverek
    What year was that and how much did you pay?

    There is no "size up" from the PD stock slider for Sabre1 190...: http://performancedesigns.com/docs/linetrims/LS_190-230LT.pdf
  18. skydiverek
    Ther dimensions ARE of the latest slider (as found on PD website), but it still opens brutally hard... That is why I was looking for another solution.
  19. skydiverek
    Can anyone tell me what the dimensions are for the larger slider that cures hard openings on Sabre 1? And I am talking about using this measuring method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZB0sNdUOcs Plus, does anyone have a spare one, or can make one? PM me please, if yes.

    Do you have a link to this? Sparky Hmmmm, no. But check Vigil website. I recall a document written by them.
  21. skydiverek
    Do you have a link to these incidents? I spent some time tracking problems with the various AAD’s and can’t recall this happening. Sparky Yup, it happened, Vigil company acknowledged it and even did their own in-flight tests with Vigil and sudden door opening. They did not fire, then.
  22. skydiverek
    And I believe this is Tandem Vector with the COLLAPSED drogue...!
  23. skydiverek
    Does anyone know if the manufacturer imposed any life-limit (years) for Minimax7 reserves?
  24. skydiverek
    Can someone confirm the square footage of it? DOM is 1997.
  25. skydiverek
    Did he pull out of the formation, had a temporary baglock, and fell below the formation?
