Extreme hook prevention

Recommended Posts

One of the jumpers at the DZ who never normally does radical landings decided to do a hook too low and ended up dragging his butt hole thru the dirt with his toggles buried to dig out of it, he was probably crapping mud for a couple of days after that but was otherwise ok. He took extreme action to prevent this from happening again and actually took a blade and cut his front dive loops off!!!!

Dive loops can be great for high wind days, and you don't have to hook if you have them, it just seemed like an overreaction.

thoughts?

Um, well this seems like A) a troll and B) to be in the wrong forum...

What ever happend to "Hi, I'm ***** and I'm new here, its great seeing all these jumpers debating stuff that I have intrest in and there aren't enough boobie posts"?

The last time someone wrongly posted in this forum, I replied that it should be posted somewhere else. Then when it was moved, no one knew what I was posting about:S. I guess I replied too early, so I waited with this one..............

Damn trolls with no life. If your just attempting to stir-up sh*t, you could atleast make it entertaining. Un-imaginative bastards.

Yeah, but its a *real* troll type question.

Actually there wasn't a question posed.
It was simply more mindless postwhoring of the sort which most of us have been guilty of in the past.

Posted just to stir up shit.

I really don't smell the sh*t he's supposedly stirring, not like he named names or made a accusation of some kind.

Dave! got to the gym!:P

I figured the punch line here would be ". . . and so now he does toggle hooks."

The gear is almost never the problem; it's the person flying the canopy. If it makes him feel better cutting off the dive loops, then great. It would still be a better idea to get some good canopy flight instruction.

i think i know the jumper who posted this (though his profile doesn't show his real name) and this post is a true story (i know the jumper that cut off his dive loops...was on the jump with him when he did his low hook).

this was not a troll...and i don't think it was an attempt to stir sh#t up...just another question posed to the forums

I just think if there were more details it would be better placed in another forum.
