My advice:

1. wear gloves
2. hold on tight
3. climb up on his shoulders... it's worth the effort
4. have a back-up plan if it goes shitty

My vid: Mr. Bill
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and shouting,
".... holy crap....what a ride!"

They are really not that hard if you plan for it and take it seriously.

I have done several and not all went well but other than bumps and bruises we all walked away.

For your first one here are my suggestions:

The passenger (Mr. Bill) should be smaller than the base (sluggo) You should use a large docile f-11 canopy that will snivel on a sub-terminal opening.

Flat pack it and roll the nose up to the at least the c lines. Use a big slider.

Do not take a delay at all, keep the airspeed low. If possible have a qualified IAD instructor deploy for you.

In my opinion these are best done out of a cessna with flaps and low airspeed.

Hold on tight but do NOT ever hook your arms inside your buddies harness.

Wear gloves and beware of handles.

DO it HIGH 10,000 feet or above. It is just a hop and pop but if you are low you will pucker.

The most important thing is to pack for it and plan, do not treat it like a random skydive. And brief the pilot and every one else on your intentions.

Talk to those that have done it before.

Mr Bills are a blast and the jumps you will always remember but they must be done with respect.


More later,

I think the new name for Mr. Bill should be…”The slightly gay exit.”

Well then c'mon grasshopper. I'll show ya what gay means. ;)

I have a "00" in my near future.

I'll be Mr. Bill.... after all, my arms don't pop out of their sockets even at twice... um.... plus a few years... your age
