BIGUN 1,314 #27 June 19, 2008 Quote After a 2-hour search in the woods for my wife, son, and myself... Did you find them? You've caught a lot of shit on here... welcome to the family. Ya better be thick-skinned in this sport. I must admit to a little laughter after reading that your bag-lock resulted in an instant opening and a safe landing and thinking, the only thing instant on a bag lock is that "Oh shit" feeling and if you landed it safely; you sir, have the first documented safe landing of a pilot chute. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spent the last 2.5 years out of 5 in Iraq!My purpose for posting this was for sharing, it was a first for me; nothing more, nothing less. I knew what to do, and have had no problems with obtaining the appropriate licenses up to this point. I've had great instructors. And have asked (MANY) questions, just ask Mike G. I call him weekly! For whatever it's worth i appreciate everyone's comments, criticisms, and gripes. That's the wonderful thing about living in this free country. Respectfully, Brad"Never take life seriously.

Correct, however a baglock that clears is still a baglock, likewise a lineover that clears is still a lineover. Some malfunctions may be fixed providing sufficient altitude and time and some may clear on their own. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
