    Yeah, I was wondering - does anybody know of any TRUE Skyhook saves? (i.e. the jumper, for whatever reason, cutaway so low that neither normal RSL, nor his pulling the ripcord would have been fast enough to save him).

    Fair bit of reworking. Do a search on dz.com.

    The question (for people from various countries) is: HOW MANY GALLONS (1 gallon = 3.8 liters) of gas can you buy for an AVERAGE after tax monthly salary. In Poland it is about 100 gallons. See the difference? To put it in perspective, you would have to pay $20 A GALLON to have the same situation in the U.S. ($2,000 average net income divided by 100 gallons). I just used $2,000 figure as my estimate, but you get the point... You guys have it good in the U.S.!

    Check this: http://costofwar.com Alos, check the links below the "counter". Did't Bush say that the war would cost one billion dolars only? "Mission Acomplished!"

    The more the rings "rub" agains each other, the less force is transmitted to the white loop. I asked this queston here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=126113#126113 and Bill Booth answered here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=126465#126465 Bart

    Money can only make someone happy/happier, who is ALREADY happy.

    ALL TSO'd reserves are dropped with three 360 degree twists in the lines (just like in the RWS video). The reserve must be fully functional within few seconds (I forgot how manyexactly). So, why are we worriend about the line twists on the reserves?!? They are designed to fly with them and "untiwist" from them quickly (TSO).

    bungy jumping

    skydiverek replied to jtval's topic in The Bonfire

    AJ Hackett Bungy in Las Vegas is the ONLY place in the US open 365 days. I don't think they take appointments though.

    What if they have dynamic IP, like most people?... They will just make a new one...

    Yup - wine cork inside a PVC handle solves a problem. I like the PVC handle over hackey and monkeyfist due to a less probability of bridle wrapping around the handle.

    How? Spectra does not stretch, if that's what you mean...

    I might have heard that Omega is officially only compatibile with Quick reserve (kind of like tandem gear which could ONLY be used with certain canopies, few years ago). So it seems like they grounded the whole configuration. Am I right on Omega issue?
