bergh 0 #1 April 12, 2005 This past sunday, I escaped near injury with a 120 degree front riser carve. After completing about 30 degrees of the turn I saw that I was low and decide to use my out with ended up being a down wind landing. In hind sight I was please with my decision to use my out, I managed to escape without serious injury. I do have a few bumps to remind me. After considering what happen I came to some conclusion. 1. It was a poor setup and even though I aborted the turn I should have never started it. 2. I am now very happy about my decision to wait before down sizing. A decision I made about 4 weeks ago. 3. If it had not been for the few people guiding me, I would have been toast. Thanks to Tim Mace, Rob Kruger and Rob Vernon whom have shared there knowledge.

The111 1 #2 April 12, 2005 Congrats on not breaking yourself. I'm confused how your out ended up being downwind though. Was your intended landing heading crosswind?www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbrown 26 #4 April 14, 2005 You done alright, congratulations. You're alive, you're not seriously hurt, and you learned from your mistakes. You HAD an out and you used it. You stuck with an intelligent sized canopy for your size and experience level. And you've been using some experienced coaching. If any one of those positives were missing, you just might have died. You're a living testament to learning how to do this sort of thing the intelligent way. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
