flyingvet 0 #26 May 2, 2002 Sure I had! Lot of them, and at the beginning I was so scared of malfunction that I freezed at the door. Then walked throughout this fear and realized that fear can't stop you, when you're doing the most exciting sport of the universe. It would be like be scared of having sex!!! Does anyone? Now I still have bad nightmare of total-malf. or of death by height but these are only nightmare, real skydiving is only FUN, FUN, FUN.Enjoy ur flights Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spy38W 0 #27 May 3, 2002 Just had a wierd one last night.. Was doing some FF with a pretty much RW only buddy, got down to pull altitude and then saw the canopy still cocooned, with line twists over 3/4's of the way down the lines. Then it started spinning violently and got rid of all the line twists, but still wouldn't open. Finally chopped it, pulled the reserve, nothing, then hit the ground (Stand up landing, 5' from the windsock) and then the reserve pilot chute popped out. Nobody else seemed to think this was at all out of the ordinary. --Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
