Classic! That ought to be a sig line.

Nowadays youre never gonna have a canopy collision on opening down there....unless of course theres another old fart on the load...such as yourself.

Well... not like I've never been known to "take it off the bottom"... ... but since the advent of high performance canopies, I've moved it back up... and one of the two canopy collisions I've been involved in was short final, so a lower pull wouldn't have prevented that...

Of course, hitting them may be the only way to get them to see you

I'm sorry I just can't help cracking on an old guy once in a while. Nothing personal

I've watched a lot of guys pull at a grand, most had hundreds or thousands of jumps and I felt they knew well what they were into. The low pull that will always stay in my mind was a 30 jump or so female student. After exiting at 10,000 feet she finally pulled and got line stretch at about 100 feet, and to top it off she didn't seem to think anything about it...
