See anything wrong in this photo?

This comes from the two-page center-fold spread, "Parachutist", June, 2015, right half of the picture.

For some reason it's fun scanning the magazine photos to see if you can spot potential problems with people's gear setups. and I see a minor item here. Not the helmet camera. Can you guess it?

Pull up cord on the leg straps.

Risers not within/outside of the secondary covers

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Those are slider locks ("slocks") sewn onto the risers.

Loose shirt tail - potential for covering emergency handles in case of a mal?

My Dad used to ask me if someone jumped off a bridge would I do that too? No, but if they jumped out of an airplane, that's a different question...

That's the only thing I could see. Well, that and the giant snag hazard on the helmet that we're told to ignore.

Alti is on left wrist. It's a white lb wrist band

What? No. Riser covers are fine.

Reserve loop may be a bit too long, based on the slight imprint of reserve PC cap on the reserve flaps.

[sundevil777 102]

Maybe something near the main handle seems out of place - a little bit of bridle or whatever visible when it should all be tucked away.

The blue pull up cord don't match the colour scheme of the clothes/rig grayscale and red.

I wouldn't call that wrong.
I have given my alti to a student in the plane after they realized they forgot theirs and kinda panicked about it.

The right riser cover has a wrinkle in its lower corner. That wrinkle costs him valuable fashion points!!!!!!

It looks like he's using the pull up cord as a "butt bungee."

Depending on how it's tied on, nothing wrong with it.

Reserve pilot chute not snug and centred?

[lomcovak 0]

His feet and right hand are missing?

"Now, why do witches burn?"
"...because they're made of... wood?"
"Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?"
"Build a bridge out of her."

In the fifth chapter of st Lucas it is written that she, who wears a G3, must wear cool sunglasses.
In violation to that law she risks to loose many likes on facebook.

Rookie mistake...

By performing Atmonauti he is using metaphysical experience to transgress the boundaries of our universe's laws of physics, which may cause a singularity gravitational event to compress the universe into a cosmic-level black hole?

Or possibly not. It could go either way.

Then I will go with bridle looks as little misrouted & pud is not secure.

[anabatic 0]

looks to me as if the main canopy is to small for the container itself, seems pretty pulled together / looseness

Pull up cord on the leg straps.

Way to go, TampaPete - you got my issue on the first response. That pull-up cord might be used to tie his leg straps together, but if that's the case, he shouldn't leave all that slack hanging out loose to snag a pilot chute bridle.

All those other issues, wow, I had no idea. You guys caught stuff I hadn't even imagined! Amazing amount of knowledge, and sharp eyes, present here. Thanks for the learning experience.

The shirt seems tucked in to the leg straps very well, I don't really see that one as being a problem.

Who pitches between their legs?

Who pitches between their legs?

Exactly.... I do not see any chance of a snag hazard there.

To put it mildly, I do not see a damn thing wrong with the gear setup.

Well, we can't see how long the loose end is, to know if it could interfere with pilot chute extraction. Likely? No. Possible? Yes. What if the pilot chute falls back into his tracking burble and flops around behind his ass? And why take the chance when the fix is so simple and easy?
