    Couldn't Norway adopt this?: http://www.bigairsportz.com/pdf/bas-sizingchart.pdf

    Probably the tandem fatality. Skyhook complicated the situation there.
  5. skydiverek
    And how is it different in a military, where your Interlock system is being used?
  6. skydiverek
    The above is obvious, I was just making a point that Slinks are stronger then metal links.
  7. skydiverek
    PD Slinks are still the only reserve ones with no metal, correct?

    Check these BRUTAL tests on "Speed 2000" reserve: http://www.paratec.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Speed-2000-Drop-Tests.mov And it packs a bit smaller than Optimum!
  9. skydiverek
    Sure they can

    I recall PD saying that their Reserve Slinks can tak 70G load.

    Yes, Slinks are not compatibile with Dacron lined Tandem and Student canopies: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=3326440;page=1;mh=-1;;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC Also, from PD: "This is one of the reasons we don't recommend Slinks with tandems and student canopies. Typically those canopies are big with long lines, send the slider down quickly, and the grommets can cause this type of situation. There is very little known usage with typical sport gear in this configuration of Dacron lines and Slinks. I do know of some people doing this without any issues, but I can certainly understand how it could happen."

    You, just got an email from him.

    Hadn't that guy put over 2,000 jumps on a set of slinks? If so, a failure of maintenance rather than slink design, I would say. Koji did not die, he was paralyzed. Slinks were estimeted to have 3,000 jumps on them, IIRC.

    Is it based on the Jerry's B "RAX" system, or BASIK's "LES"?: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=311134958899600&set=a.296035097076253.82007.272611446085285&type=3&theater http://www.youtube.com/user/SkyWideSystems/videos http://www.facebook.com/SkyWideSystems http://www.swsrigs.com

    My Infinity with 190 main and 176 reserve and AAD weighs 12 kg (26 lbs). I add 3 kg (7lbs) for clothes and other equipment, which gives me the total of 33 lbs (15 kg) . You have bigger canopies, so 35 lbs is a good number for you to use.

    Mayby just backups of backups? There was place to install them, so why not use it?
