AEsco48 0 #1 July 23, 2006 Are full face helmets just used when jumping with multiple people at the same time....or RW Would it be unusual for some one who plans to just jump alone or with one other person to use a full face helmet? How about if i plan to do wingsuit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
za_skydiver 0 #2 July 23, 2006 I wear my full face on every single jump i do, even freefly. You never know what could happen on landing.Some dream of flying, i live the dream... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slurp56 0 #3 July 23, 2006 Doesn't matter what kind of jump you do or what kind of helmet you have, protect your melon. I've got a factory diver helmet and wear it on everything, birdman, freefly,rw, solo, hop n pops, etc.________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.

GravityGirl 0 #4 July 23, 2006 Ask the same question in the Wing Suit forum. It is a fine choice for solos, RW, two ways..... I know a few hard core freeflyers that even prefer them, even though it is not the norm. You wear what fits your needs and comfort level. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies!

Why would you plan to only ever jump with one other person? That's kinda odd. Anyway, Phoenix-fly (WS manufacturer) actually make their own fullface and market it at WS flyers. Fullfaces also nicer than open faces for jumping when its very cold or cloudy.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jheadley 0 #6 July 23, 2006 I wear full face when doing everything. I´ve seen people get kicked in the face badly during freefly jumps. My visor ripped off when in a very fast stand, so now I just use the helmet and goggles. I like the jaw and chin protection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not. QuoteHow about if i plan to do wingsuit? Since you only have 2 jumps, your instructor will be the best person to advise you on what to wear, until you are able to self jumpmaster yourself. By the time your ready for a wingsuit, you'll clearly be able to make the decision as to what you want to fly. Try not to think too far ahead and focus on what you need to learn while going through your training and the tasks at hand.
