I'm kinda of a big guy so landing in a crashing plane or trying to land a double digit canopy would bring pretty much the same results! Just asking what size and kind would just be for comfort while trying to "enjoy" the unexpected high altitude jump!

bch7773 0 #56 March 17, 2004 yeah something tells me that if the other passengers suddenly see a engine explode and then a guy gets outta his seat, puts on a parachute, and heads for the hole.... well, they gonna think hes responsible and probably hold him down. i'd vote for looking around for the nearest hot chick and asking her for a quickie before we die MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aviatrr 0 #57 March 17, 2004 This topic pops up now and then....and the answers are always the same....and there are always those people that say "if I think the plane is going down, I'll FIND a way to get out". Not gonna happen. Breakup in flight? You won't have time to put your rig on. Explosion? If the airplane is out of control afterwards, you won't be able to get your rig on. Just not gonna happen, folks. You try to open the door in flight on any airliner that I am on, and you're gonna have a size 11 boot cracking your skull wide open. If I can get to you as you are near the door, the aircraft is in control - and trying to open a door(even though you wouldn't be able to) would just cause more problems(such as panicking pax).

Cant' get my rig on? Maybe, but I've got the rest of my life to try. Let's just say that there are two major factors. One, I'd be more motivated towards success than I've ever been in the past. Two, there wouldn't be any conflicts in my schedule for a while. It would have my full attention. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USPA 0 #60 March 17, 2004 I see an new thread here.. what if he or she is a dz.commer ?The trouble with skydiving; If you stink at it and continue to jump, you'll die. If you're good at it and continue to jump, you'll see a lot of friends die... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
