philhartree 0 #26 December 17, 2001 Why didnt you mention this at the weekend??? I'm sure i could have found SOMEONE to jump with.... mind you... considerations:- 45 seconds isnt long- You'd need a bit of... erm...pre-coital preparation time before...exit Which would be difficult on a LET load of 17...- Imagine all the camera jumpers on that load- Cold, cold, oh and the cold (if you know what i mean)- And the likelyhood of loss of alti awareness...Phil---If you have to ask, you don't understand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,069 #27 December 17, 2001 Some issues:If you want to do it in freefall, get started before exit. A combination of the wind and the relative motion required to control oneself in freefall makes a freefall "docking" next to impossible.If you want to do it under canopy, a tandem works only under the following conditions:Tall man TM/short woman passenger, TM leg straps looseAverage size for both, with woman as TM (_very_ tiring for the guy)(The above is for Strong rigs only)If you're rigging-inclined, a Mr. Bill exit with a harness that keeps you together until 'separation' can work,. but make sure both parties have a hook knife. In the event of a main mal, cut away Sluggo FIRST before cutting away the main/opening the reserve.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PalmettoTiger 1 #30 December 18, 2001 That FAQ was awesome. So many things you wouldn't immediately consider, like if you wear clothes for the ride up make sure they won't cover your handles in an emergency bailout, or put a shirt or pair of shorts in an unused ROL pouch. Even if I never jump naked that FAQ has made my life better. Bill von, you get a Gold Star™.I wanted to put some really inspiring lyrics here but none of them fit.>< !!
