If you are talking about just fun jumping at an "off DZ" location, then yes, it can be done legally. Whether or not it's safe or smart is a whole different question. Search the term "Bandit Jumps" for the info. The term "bandit jump" is a misnomer, as there's nothing inherently illegal about making jumps somewhere other than an established drop zone. If that term is to be applied to any jump where a FAR is violated, then bandit jumps can and are also made every weekend at established drop zones.

I found that, but they don't list cubic inch pack volumes for their canopies, just how they compare to other canopies. That ain't right - somewhere they should own up to a pack volume measurement. Yeah, I know they have another write-up on the variability of such things, but there needs to be a number out there for people to work with for sizing rigs. http://www.paragear.com/canopyspecs/canopysizing.PDF Yep, that's what I go to for canopy volumes. But why doesn't the manufacturer do that for their own canopies on their own web site?
