Is it normal for a 200lb guy to fall this fast............on his belly?

Recommended Posts

yupp I have a MEAN arch and a big ole butt.. I should dig out the graph where I did 310 MPH:)
That was a head down no lift no look first out of the airplane.. first load of the day... speed dive.. and I blew up my Triathalon.. OOUCH
Deployment speed at 2016 ft... 60 MPH... in other words.. I had one MEAN ass track going on after that dive.

Without trying, I can fall, belly down, at an average of 150's... I don't wiegh as much as you, but than everyone tells me I need to slow down! I think the slowest I can consistently do ranges in the high 130's. lol, NWFlyer still has me beat though, its fun to jump with her, just so I CAN go fast!

You'd be surprised, Jess - I've gotten a lot better at slowing myself down (and now that I have my own ProTrack, I can figure out how slow). It's fun, though, to jump with folks and not have to slow myself down. I like letting my anvil side out sometimes. >:(

I've got a competitor for you on the fast fall rate at our DZ....no not me - I would need lead and lots of it.

I envy you guys that can do that without flirting with a hernia. :D:D:D

Congrats on your fun jump.
My reality and yours are quite different.
