That looks really sweet. Nice job arranging. // Percy

Bummer, get well // Percy

Not an expert but. Can you run the exit? You should be able to jump further than 2m from standing still but what are the risks you are willing to take? Taking a 2 sec delay to clear the ledge pretty much puts u in the cellar. Is that ok? What are the landings? Tallus? Field of grass? With that said, a running exit taking with a short delay should probably clear the ledge. The lower u take it the greater distance from the cliff. Please take in count, my experience is limited. An offheading on a low cliff is a bone breaker. The best advice is to stay away. My mentor once said about low cliffs, "an easy hike doesn't necessarily suggest an easy jump". After read a lots of incident reports about death and injuries, I also find it true. Be safe / percy "u won't find me on a low cliff"

If you ask me you just earned kudos, not lost it. Glad you are around to educate. // Percy

hehehe Belive I do the Grin as well...... Wonder what my bedtime grin looks like... // Percy

That IS cool Congrats Percy

You could try (If u dare) so called Medical petrol (Benzinum Medicinale ACL). I've used it with some sucess. No harm done to the material. Not sure what it's called in english though. You should be able to find it in a drug store. // percy

Thx for all the input guys. I've just got hold of a very qualified Tandem paraglider. He'll help me and we'll se what comes out in the end. // Percy

Hmmm You leave me with more thoughts, not what I wanted. Would have preferred a "Yeah man, go do it". But I guess you guys is right, there is more to it than what's obvious. A q though, before I go find my own personal (qualified) "low altidude skydiver-driver". This "lockout" thing. What's the mechanics behind it? Can it be avoided if u abort (i.e. release, asume non load bearing release) quickly when things turn ugly? Thx // percy

Hi First, don't know if this really fits in in this forum but..... Me and a friend have come up with an excellent idea. We have plenty of snow, time and little to do. Here's the deal. We were thinking 'bout starting his paraglider behind a snowmobile (yes, we have PLENTY of rope) with me as a passenger. Up on decent alt I'll drop off, pull and land my Troll with grace. This is all fine, I guess I just face the usual risks, imminent death. But what about my friend who's still stuck up there. What are the possible bad outcomes in such a enterprise? Suddenly deflation with no chance of recovery? Deathspirals? Or what? I've seen jumps been made from paragliders before both live and on video and it all just seemed sweet. But lets face it, I know sh**t 'bout paragliders and that counts for my friend as well, I guess. So is there anybody out there with experience? Share, please. // Percy

If that deployment is done in forward momentum (frontloopish wise), then the bridle route seems interesting. Any complications? // percy

So here is mine Sertainly not a record but must have made some Petrol company glad (Swedish Gas prices, brrrr). 23hrs. 3 jumps on 3 different A's (including 1 new object). Making a total of 800+ m of climbing. The tricky part consisted of a total of 870+ km worth of driving to get us there, between and back home. I will probably never again have the endurance to repeat that but what the heck I've turned 31 since then and isn't supposed to either. Don't jump, then u probably live. // percy

Actually I'm amazed that neither of u gurus haven't noticed the horrible misuse of those clamps and rather discuss the cultural differences between EU and US. This discussion must be lead onto the right track again. If u are not applying the Clamps directly at the nipples it could lead to serious malfunction. Such as Line-over, aka "Mae West" and other serious shait.... there you have it play.... // percy

Big Bang.... thx.. // percy

Nice vids but who is doin' the song to the one called spiret? Kinda liked it... // percy
