SWATcop 0 #26 December 30, 2007 I just had a slammer two days ago. I have not had a hard opening in the last 200 or so jumps before this one. I got bruises on the front of both shoulders, legs and it really hurt my back and sternum.

potvinj 0 #27 January 8, 2008 Yup! I have seen those bottom-skin openings before. Note that the canopy appears fully extended prior to the cells being inflated. Ouch! Anyway Peek and I just posted a possible explanation for this kind of openings. Its a hypothesis, mind you, but one that makes sense at least to us. http://www.pcprg.com/sliderdragcancel.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWATcop 0 #28 January 9, 2008 That is a great hypothesis. I think that may very well be what happened. Thanks for posting, I had never heard of that before.Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
