SkydiveMonkey 0 #1 March 30, 2002 My friend had a 10,000 foot round reserve jump today as when we exited a 4 way, he caught the reserve pin on the door and pulled it out. Just a word of warning - it can happen !! I'm not crazy - I'm a Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymedic 0 #2 March 30, 2002 What kind of rig was he jumping? and how long did it take him to get down....could he even steer the thing??marcBSBD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #3 March 31, 2002 Jumping a student zerox as his rig - needed a repack !! Just out of date though. It took him ages to come down, I pulled at 3500 also jumping a student kit (as mine hasn't been delivered yet), and landed about 3 minutes (at least) before he landed in a field about 200 metres away from the arrow. He could steer but not very much. I'm not crazy - I'm a Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #4 March 31, 2002 It's not every 182, there has been only one that I've jumped that had a handle that could snag a flap (and by god it did it to me when I jumped it), so far. Each door is different, just take note of the door frame and handle, etc when getting into the aircraft and remember not to rub your rig against the door and you *should* be fine."Homer Simpson, smiling politely."

SkydiveMonkey 0 #8 April 1, 2002 He was going to land on the arrow, but there was a slight change in wind at about 2000 feet and it blew him a couple of fields over. It was really close.
