Skydiving math 101:

"I'm new" + "first rig" + "swooping" + "small" + "snug" = Landing Injury

Look I would not ask the question if I didn't know what I was doing.

I don't want to sound mean, but if you knew what you were doing, you wouldn't have to ask.

The guy in the link thought he knew what he was doing, as have a lot of others that took a helicopter ride or an ambulence ride with the lights and siren off.

How can you know what you are doing when you don't even own a rig yet?

Derek is right on man. No need to be rushing things. Get your first rig jump and learn. You may be into swooping and freefly but I have yet to see a DZ with gear suitable for these applications.

Freefly is one thing, but swooping is a different game. I have seen 1000+ jump guys bite it bad on a swoop. You know the risks, but dont be dumb about it.

If you knew what you were talking about then you wouldnt have asked the question. Does a firefighter ask how to give CPR?

After looking at the profile, and seeing "Lo-Po Reserve", I declare a troll.

your right I don't have my own rig im renting a icon and a crossfire from my freind because I didn't trust the student rigs at the DZ. I am a experienced freeflyer and canopy pilot and don't tell me swooping is a hole other ball game because I played that game and struck out a few times I only have experience with a icon and Student Vector that's wy I asked for container advice not canopy but CONTAINER because prier containers were uncomfirtable and big.

you guy's really shouldn't asume your talking to a complete amature just becaues I didn't completly fill out my profile

P.S some catch on faster that others.

Not completing you profile is one thing but,
100000 jumps and 1 year in the sport.

Your funeral.
