base698 19 #1 March 30, 2003 Don't know if anyone has ever seen a BASE jumper do this. Basically its a mushroom made out of the pilot chute and the bridle s-folded on the inside of the pc pack job. I've been doing this skydiving now for about 200 jumps. Some advantages I've noticed: * Quick inflation (more prudent to BASE) * Easy to extract but not easy to come out prematurely, unless... * ...you pull on the bridle (ie a horseshoe) which would make that malfunction more likely to clear. * I've noticed less wear than the burrito folding in the same number of jumps. What are everyone else's thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pringles 0 #4 March 30, 2003 I have also used this method. One reason I started using it was because it seems to pack faster this way for me. It isn't that much faster but it shaves some time off the pack job. Matt Davies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
