Boogers 0 #8 March 21, 2014 "So how do you get from down there on the ground to up here?" That long loop of cord hanging out the back of that guy's helmet looks like trouble waiting to happen. "First you have to hand pack your parachute…" Flat-packing is so out of style. "Your helmet is equipped with an altimeter that makes a shrill beeping noise when it is time to pull the cord." Last beep at 1800'? That's your hard deck. You need a warning BEFORE you get to your hard deck. Funny stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tkhayes 348 #12 March 22, 2014 That was all done on March 8 here at Skydive City. Not just that reporter, but 17-20 Wounded Warrior vets came out to jump, included 4 paraplegic tandems. Our staff and the SOCOM team spent the day jumping with these guys and showing them our stuff. My staff stepped up to take the paraplegics, Mike Squires and Gary Billings both took their first para-tandems with some help from me and all the hardware we built to do these sorts of jumps.

Do the military guys handle their first jump differently than the civilians, or are they all about the same?I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind.

Baksteen 84 #15 March 23, 2014 Well, at least he got the tandem passenger/baby analogy spot on "That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #16 March 25, 2014 My God! I've been jumping all these years with a thingy that explodes razor blades on my back! Fortunately, I've never had to use it, but I'm taking that thing out right now!! Bill Booth looks like he's never used the exploding razors either Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
