How many reserve rides?

Recommended Posts

2 in 520 jumps..... 1 was due to linetwists which caused the canopy to spin out (i did not pack the chute :S), and 1 was near encounter with another jumper :S:S

Just 1 in 196 Jumps...

It was on student gear over unfamiliar territory. My ex Girlfriend had packed the main... should have known better than to jump it ;)

7 in 1200 skydives; but I think my last one was about jump #700. I don't remember for sure though. I did quite a bit of experimenting with pilot chutes, and that caused about 3 of them.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

0 in 250 jumps...Had tweo where I shoulda probably chopped..one on student gear...had line twists down to my risers...couldnt even look up and see the bloody canopy! still managed to kick out of them. 2nd was first hop n pop on my new rig, kill line had shrunk over time and a non terminal deployment wasnt enough for it to open...lets just say it took its sweet time, good thing i was at 6000 for that jump;)

4 rides with 1250 jumps. All of them on ellipticals. Started jumping elliptical after jump #350

2 with my Vengeance 97. Severe line twist.
1 with a borrowed Icarus Crossfire 88. Slider came down too fast trapping left toggle and right toggle came loose with slider impact. Inducing uncontrollable spin.
1 with a borrowed Icarus VX 68. Slider came down too fast trapping left toggle and right toggle came loose with slider impact. Inducing uncontrollable spin.

2 in 201 jumps

one last weekend - one 2 years ago

last weekend the chute just didn't want to open - no twists, but the slider was up and it wasn't going to come down - after a 1500 foot snivel it was time to say good bye forever to that freebag
