jlmiracle 7 #4 August 16, 2011 Its difficult for some dropzones to rent you rig for the day, if they have a limited number. They need the rigs to put students up also and if they have a limited number of rigs they really need to make sure they are available for students. jBe kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I ran some numbers in an excel spreadsheet years ago. I put in the new and used (depreciated) value of all the components, maintenance of the AAD, rigging services, linesets, etc. I came to roughly $5 a jump, assuming the skydiver is active and jumping a lot. Granted, there are so many variables this could be $3 or $70 a jump depending on how often the user jumps. But $5 seemed like a sweetspot. So, zhills being $23 means the average joe can save $18 a jump owning. Not quite priceless, but definitely worth it if you plan on jumping a lot.

Beyond the cost benefits, you also get to jump the same rig all the time. So you can really concentrate on how to fly and land your canopy rather than potentially having a different canopy each time you rent. If you are licensed and you plan to jump any reasonable amount, it seems to me that buying a used rig is the smart thing to do for lots of reasons.
