wildcard451 0 #2 July 10, 2013 No it doesn't. It looks like a flattie saw a swooper with their risers out and thought it would be a good idea for freefall. Weird picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazmoDee 3 #3 July 10, 2013 Why would a "swooper" wear booties? And what's with the reserve handle being all flipped out there??? I'm behind the bar at Sloppy Joe's....See ya in the Keys! Muff 4313 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main risers are so far out and underneath the open riser flaps that they almost look purposely put there. Poor choices? Poor container design? I dunno.

That's not the reserve handle on the left of the pic, that's the unstowed brake line excess. The riser covers haven't stayed closed, so both risers have moved off the shoulders and are now underneath the riser covers.Sky Switches - Affordable stills camera tongue switches and conversion adaptors, supporting various brands of camera (Canon, Sony, Nikon, Panasonic).

Well, I can see the end of the cutaway cable housing on the jumper's left side. There is no cutaway cable and the white loop looks to be a long way from the eyelet, and not through it. I'd like to crop the image, but I can't on my device. But, you can zoom in and view the assembly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topdocker 0 #12 July 11, 2013 Tracking away after someone has mistakenly pulled his cutaway handle. Moved his main risers out to insure a clean deployment of the reserve without cutting away his main and possibly losing it. Explains the "get outta my way stare." topJump more, post less!

degeneration 5 #14 July 11, 2013 CazmoDeeThis is excess brake line? I believe it is, yes.

Tetrahedron 13 #17 July 11, 2013 In that picture, you can see the soft loop is still up under tension. You can see the yellow cable on the other side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgw 8 #18 July 11, 2013 I am not seeing the same thing. I see the grommet, but it seems a long way from the soft loop, and I can't see a yellow cable near the grommet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
