imfalling 0 #26 December 18, 2010 QuoteSo, what if you want to do a fun jump and PAY for your slot. He couldn't have a problem with that. And if he did I'd tell him to go fuck his hat. Find a better place to work. Good luck, Willy Yep, even if you pay for your slot and take photo or video your not allowed to post the images on the internet. In our contracts theres something about any images recorded during operation are the companys property. I don't even know if that is legal. Heres another one for you... we are also not allowed to smoke. Not just on site, but during work hours. So, even if you leave the dz, your not allowed to smoke. So many rules! QuoteAnd how did you do that? Were you wearing weights? Do you weigh 400 lbs.? Can you arch so hard that you're bent in half? Was it a drogueless tandem? Color me skeptical... I'm 92kg. Drogue was out, tandem jm is the same weight as me and the customer was 100kg and very round. The speed was recorded as I went through 12Kft which was while I was on my way back down from getting some pics from above. QuoteI assume you're talking here of kph, and not mph. You are not going to get 300 mph on your belly. That's very hard to do even head-down. Yeah we use kph down here :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlindBrick 0 #27 December 18, 2010 Neptunes are at their core bareometric sensors and thus will record speed spikes if you rapidly change your orientation and thus the airflow over the alti. Even a move simple as rotating your wrist to better read your Neptune will produce a noticable spike in the log. Having said that, 300 kph isn't that big of a deal if you're a bigger guy. That's around my deployment speed in casual wear. My personal recorded best was around 400 kph, but I'm sure that my max is higher because that jump was done in the dead of winter and there was no way I was going out at 17,000 msl in shorts and tee at that time of year. -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

There is only one of two reasoms for said rules, (I suspect both) One, they are braking safety regs,a nd don;t want proof.. two, you are being used as a tool, and need to get everyone together, to get such a dumbass rule changed...can;t run a DZ with no employeees!
