erdnarob 1 #27 September 23, 2016 You are your canopy pilot and like an airplane pilot, you are the grand master about what to do for your safety. That being said, listen to the DZ official comments.Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjskiii 0 #28 September 25, 2016 Just wanted to thank all of you for your comments. Some took my question as though I was trying to justify my decision, but that was not my intention at all. When I do something that is questioned, I like to get thoughts and opinions from other folks so that I can better learn from what took place. In my experience, some of the best tips and suggestions come from people completely removed from the action. Life is a learning experience. Thanks again!
