freeflir29 0 #3 August 14, 2002 If anyone is that close to me when I figure out my reserve isn't going to work, they are in damn near as much trouble as I am....even if they have two perfectly good ones left. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wlie 0 #7 August 14, 2002 I've seen that in a yellow book titled something like "worst case scenerio survival guide". Some of the stuff was alright and made sense. But this parachuting topic was like way out there. I guess it really was meant to be taken with a heap spoonful of salt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have the "victim" hook their arms in your harness, open your main, have the victim then put his hands in the main risers, cutaway, open your reserve, and you can both land safely under your own canopy... It isn't that hard to save someone's life... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......
