skymama 37 #23 April 7, 2008 QuoteAre there any? Deland has some guys who are over 50 and who sit-fly. They're the only guys I know of who still wear the old sit-fly suits. They're a lot of fun!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #24 April 7, 2008 They wear the sitfly suit because they CAN fall STABLE. In fact it's so ingrained they need the arm pockets in order to fall UNSTABLE butt first!What's more dangerous than a 20 year old 30 jump wonder who can't fall stable trying to freefly? A 50 year old 3000 jump wonder who can't fall unstable.Hmmm, another thought. Between canopies that take 1000' to open and higher freefly freefall speeds 13000' is the new 7500'.
