RIGGER 0 #2 November 25, 2008 Well done !!! You win the new 180 days I&R cycle - by all means. But most of all you win the thanks of your skydivers & pilots. (I made today my 7684 reserve pack job) Keep going & be SAFE !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #3 November 25, 2008 Maybe everyone you have done repacks for should buy you a bottle in celebration? Wait a minute.... that could get expensive for Chad and I... we know what you like to drink Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #4 November 25, 2008 Pretty neat statistic. But how many bottles of liquor did you get out of all that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The world needs more riggers that care as much as Greg does. He's been my rigging idol since I was a lowly packer. I should use that term very loosely... when he met me, I was a really sorry excuse for a packer Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggergreg 0 #8 November 26, 2008 Quote But how many bottles of liquor did you get out of all that? Way more than I could possibly drink (215 saves) Thanks Jen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #9 November 26, 2008 Quote Quote But how many bottles of liquor did you get out of all that? Way more than I could possibly drink (215 saves) Wow. That's another amazing statistic. Actually, what I was really curious about was the ratio of packs to saves. And I was just trying to ask that in a fun way. It looks like, from your experience, that one out of every 18-19 pack jobs is actually used in an emergency. Interesting... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you rough guess an average of 50 jumps per pack job, that means about 1 in a 1000 jumps results in a save.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #11 November 27, 2008 Quote ...1 in a 1000 jumps results in a save. He must not be much of a drinker. I would have passed on #1-999 and only packed #1000. Saves energy and allows more time for the drinking.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

If you rough guess an average of 50 jumps per pack job, that means about 1 in a 1000 jumps results in a save.Another statistic I read, was that there was a 1 in 700 chance of a mal. So that sounds about right too, that given 50 jumps per packjob leads to a save roughly between 10 and 20 packjobs, given a healthy error margin.

bob.dino 1 #14 December 7, 2008 Quote ...1 in a 1000 jumps results in a save. From memory, that's about the average in Australia. Incident stats are better (though not perfectly) collected here, and to get your sporting license renewed you have to supply the # of jumps and # of reserve rides in the last 12 months...
