Yeah. It's a parachute. Just fly it. It's not fragile. Test flare it and turn it. She had altitude to do this many times. If you find yourself under a reserve, perform a canopy control check and then some added input to familiarize yourself with the canopy flight characteristics. There’s no reason to be afraid of the canopy that’s over your head especially if it’s the reserve. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

It will open far enough. Just don't stick it too close to the front. It will open all the way without the camera. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Send it to Pete Swan in Lodi for a reline with HMA. My Stiletto always opened pretty well until it went out of trim. After only a few hundred jumps, the brake lines will shrink several inches. That means when you set the brakes, the tail is pulled down quite a bit farther than it should be. that can effect the opening speed.The outer lines also shrink at a faster rate than the inner lines too so the slider doesn't sit exactly where it's supposed to when it's packed up. Set the brakes, hang it over your shoulder and check the line offset from the outside A-B-C-D lines, to the inside. When the lines were new, the line attachment points were even. I'll bet they the outer lines are quite a bit shorter than the inner lines. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

If you like to sit fly, get the front attached wing. I can sit fly with almost anything in just my freefly suit, but I really don't like not using a camera suit for tandems . Videos are all about being a tripod and getting a good stable shot. The range and stability gain is well worth it. If you're on your belly, its far easier to fly lower and look up with the wings. You simply can't do that if the fall rate is slow. Watching shaky video is annoying, especially knowing it would be better with a simple wardrobe change.

The tunnel will not be a reasonable gauge of how well your shoulder will hold up. If it's been out 5 times, it's going to come out again at some point if you skydive. It will suck no matter what. If it goes out in freefall, it will most likely happen exiting the plane, or goofing off with friends who don't give your arm a second thought. You still have to get under a canopy at some point and then figure out how to steer and land the parachute with one hand. I'm an AFF instructor and most likely I wouldn't take you if I knew how unstable your shoulder is. It's a disservice to knowingly take someone up with a known injury. Check out this website. http://www.orthoillustrated.com/ Click on shoulder and check out all the cool fixes that can be done. A labral tear is fixable. You must let it rest for 3 months. A full 3 months of doing nothing. Just 3. Then you can rehab it all you want. You'll be back in action in less than half a year of your life. Other fixes take less time. If you have the means, do it now and get it over with. If you wait, it will be dangerous and likely just get worse until you age another 20 years..... and you don't dislocate it for at least the last 10.

Interesting. That would do more than bicycle type kicking for sure. Next time, push the risers together. Pulling the risers apart tightens the twist. If it's touch to push them together, reach behind the risers to the opposite riser and in front to the opposite riser and pull them together. Especially on larger docile canopies, If you push the risers together, the canopy will do most of the work. Look up a thread called A better way out of line twist! ... or just click the double frowny face ==>

That's a great example of why certain changes were made. Chest mount altimeters are such a bad Idea with student skydivers. Arch Look Reach Pull was changed to Arch Reach Pull ... with whatever variance you wish to add but no looking. That's about all the detail I care to go into from that video. It's fun to watch but the student wasn't that dumb. The equipment has changed because of that exact scenario. edit: close the underline tag from the previous post :) My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Not sure I agree with that one. It wasn't great but that's why Ripcord training shouldn't happen. I believe she was initially trained with ripcords. Once I finally convinced our DZO to quit using ripcords, this type of problem stopped. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I'm just trying to drag one little scrap of dignity out of all the other incredibly stupid things I did. It was high enough. It may have sucked, but you were still high enough. You'd have been lower if the AAD was what put you under canopy. You got what you needed out of this experience, just move forward. Good luck. It was kind of you to share this.

Hence my anger, but since Donorcycle riders fancy themselves "special," I'm the asshole... The fact remains that, on the laws of physics alone, the car will win, so it's not advisable to tempt fate no matter how good you fancy yourself on a bike... It's also advisable not to intentionally move into the path of an oncoming vehicle such as a motorcycle. When a car driver is being an ass, speeding drifting into other lanes texting and yammering on the cell phone, you don't really notice but when a bike blazes past you, they're idiots! Cars will win, that is true. I let asshole drivers have their way. If I let crummy drivers bother me, I'd be far to stressed. I tend to just leave the area they are in and choose my path. I don't fancy myself special and most riders don't. That's your percieved notion backed by anger. I do however find it irratating when drivers have no respect toward others. Put certain people behid the wheel of a car and they become a different person. I've had people road rage me like mad while I'm driving my car. They pulled into my lane while I was still in it. I let them know by gassing it and getting out of their way. They flipped out, tailgated me, flipped me off, pretended they were going to smash the rear end of my vehicle. We pulled into the same groceray store parking lot. Rather than attempt to engage them with anger or my fists, I said hello and they backed off rather quick. These stories can go on an on. Just drive, don't be an ass. Road rage is dumb. Sure I get it sometimes but nothing major and I certainly don't attempt to ruin someones day.

Why would you want to open your door and injure a biker? Do you realize that some of us ride motorcycles that are air cooled and must keep moving to prevent the bike from overheating? I had a $1000+ repair bill when one of those assholes lane split and knocked off my mirror, and smashed the hell out of my fender, hood, and A pillar... And the asshole just kept going...
