atsaubrey 0 #1 August 23, 2005 Had my girlfriend's friend in Mexico make me a new jumpsuit. I wanted it superhuge to help my 350lbs otd fallrate. I am totally impressed with her work and only paid $140 (which she thought was too much) when I went to pick it up I tired to explain (my spanish isn't too hot) about the "wings" and how i would add swoopcords...she was like I can do that! I let her pick the design and oly told her the colors I wanted...I think she did pretty damn good."GOT LEAD?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #10 August 23, 2005 Do I see a b-b-belly band pilot chute pouch on that rig? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atsaubrey 0 #11 August 23, 2005 yes you do wish it didn't have the belly band..but.."GOT LEAD?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #12 August 23, 2005 Quoteyes you do wish it didn't have the belly band..but.. Gosh, I haven't seen one of those in several decades. And there's a good reason for that - they killed a lot of jumpers... If you twist that belly strap when you buckle it, the pilot chute bridle will be wrapped around the belly band, trapped, and unable to deploy. You'll have a pilot chute in tow. For a small fee, a rigger can convert that to a pull-out or throw-out, mounted on the bottom of the container, or a leg strap. That would be better than that belly band. Be careful with that thing!

wmw999 2,452 #13 August 23, 2005 I think that newer belly bands don't have the pilot chute on them (and I can't see it on this one). They're only used to cinch the rig up well against the body. For that purpose, they make sense, and with a BOC there's no significant possibility of interferign with the pilot chute launch.

wmw999 2,452 #24 August 25, 2005 I think just two of us, me (green, center back), and the woman in the tan jumpsuit to my right. There were quite a few local women -- there's at least one picture in my gallery of a different WSCR, with several different women in it.
