pierre3636 0 #1 August 21, 2006 I have a question about using longer bridals - I have a 3m bridal on my wing suit rig and was wondering about all the extra complications I should be thinking about with using the longer bridal. Any ideas? Would the longer bridal put me in the same or a worse off position on any kind of malfunction? Has anyone ended with a two out scenario where the longer bridal was the source of a problem (and lived to tell). ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #3 August 21, 2006 I jump a wingsuit-length bridle on both of my rigs and have never had a problem with them on any "regular" jumps. I started jumping them in 2000. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenediktDE 2 #4 August 21, 2006 It is said that you should not use a hackey if you have an extended bridal but a light plastic grip because the Hackey is more likely to be tied up with the bridal. A malfunction a friend of mine had a few weeks ago.For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoenixlpr 0 #5 August 22, 2006 I have a <2m bridle and a 36" F111 kill-line PC and 35 jumps with wingsuite. I had just clean and good deployments so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What did he do ? ~ time is ~ time was ~ times past ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our landing on an out-field was without problems. We searched his main that was still in the bag for 11 hours... For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
