Now keep in mind that this was surrounded by 300 other canopies! What site to see. --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlmiracle 7 #2 December 13, 2002 I sure hope a cypres didn't fire on the record jump. If it did, they didn't get. If they have the same rules we had during JFTC, you had to be under the canopy you were doing to land by 1000 or 1500 ft. Not sure what the exact number is but its above where a cypres fires.

I think they are quite appropriate.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
