Scary ride.

[drenaline 0]

Today on my last jump I made a fun jump, tried to do a sit but here is what happened: came out of the plane nice exit, then went for the sit and came out great, in my opinion I think I didn't slide, from time to time I checked down the earth between my legs to see if I was sliding, and on my last check came the scary thing (almost left a stain in my boxers) the left leg strap was all the way down reaching my ankle! that thing scared tha hell out of me (falling from my rig at 7k not fun), without thinking straight and transition back to the belly position I made a loop, a roll and ended up in back to earth, after switching back to belly to earth the rest of the ride was stable belly all the way from 6k to 3k and very scared.

Lucky everything came out ok, but I think I would of prevented all that if I would of used a proper freeflying friendly rig and have the legstraps tied together. I was jumping a dolphin.

be safe.
flamers put flame throwers down, thanks.

reaching your ankle?!?!?!?!

Reaching your knee, I can understand, but your ankle? how loose was your legstraps? I can't possibly imagine how your legstraps would get down to your ankle, they just aren't that long!

Legstraps going down towards your knee is a common problem, and why people have bungee cords put on their legstraps. When this happens, falling out of your rig isn't as much a risk as is a very painful opening.

Maybe you are right but I can almost swear that it was below my knee, scared me so much that I can be mistaken with what I saw but I can almost swear it.

All my rigs have but bungee's. Today I saw a guy who had velcro patches on the inside of the thigh strap and on his jumpsuit... very interesting.
