jigneshsoni 0 #1 June 12, 2005 I have heard that there are also options where you can jump out of plane yourself solo and the parachute opens by itself. This does not include any free fall. Are such options availale for new people in the sport? How much would it cost? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orange1 0 #2 June 12, 2005 Static line. The parachute doesn't open "by itself", it's deployed by a line running from your rig & hooked in the aircraft. Or IAD, where an instructor basically does the same thing. How much it costs depends where you are. It's generally cheaper than AFF but will take you longer to get off progreesion so final cost may not be much different. Watch this turn into an SL vs AFF thread Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
