  2. seriousness off And if not you can return them the reserve and they'll build in a turn for you. sorry couldn't resist "George just lucky i guess!"
  3. Hmm, i wonder how would he feel if you'd turn on the car at that moment? "George just lucky i guess!"
  4. Well you could ask PD for a demo PD160-R, but that's not your canopy. If you want to test your own reserve. the best way is to pack it as a main in some borowed rig. Remove his main from the risers, and replace his main with your reserve. I don't know about the links though. Reserve's soft links are bigger (stronger) than normal soft links so which one to choose. Consult about that with some local rigger. You can't go wrong with reserve soft links that are stronger (or can you?) The only problem is the D-bag. D-bags for main canopies are attached to the canopy, freebags are not. So the only option to try your reserve is to pack it in some D-bag, that you are willing to lose, because it can't be attached to your reserve. After you or rigger sets up everything (lines, toggles, d-bag,...something i missed) pro pack it, close the container and off you go. Take everything here with a grain of salt... don't just go and do what i said, talk to local rigger! I'm yet to try my reserve this way, but i'm afraid because it's so small "George just lucky i guess!"

  6. Dude, no helmet can do that! Well maybe helmet could, but the head in the helmet wouldn't survive the acceleration/deceleration anyway. We are talking 20Gs and more... "George just lucky i guess!"

  11. Well i guess we - skydivers, will just have to get better to make biger ways than 400-way "George just lucky i guess!"
  12. Huh i have the shakes after 3 weeks, when i'm used to summer jumping (every 3rd or 4th day.) I don't think about it, i just throw myself out of the plane. When I'm in the air it's all clear to me and want to do another jump even before the first one is over. "George just lucky i guess!"
