Hi, please feel free to comment on the following question.
I am a female skydiver with +300 jumps. I have been jumping my Heatwave 135 for 180 jumps. I have a wingloading of 1.0 on the 135. I recently downsized to a 120 and did 30 jumps on it. I felt alot safer under the 1.15 loaded 120 Hurricane. I had alot more bottomend flare, it was less twitchy and the speed allowed me to fly it and not be a passenger.
Then I unfortunately, after being zapped stayed for too long on my backrizers and ended up trying to go crosswind a bit to late. The result was me ending up with a broken bone in my left foot. not a bruise or scratch.
People are insisting that I upsize to a 135 again. Dont I have a say in this? It wasn't the canopy's fault, it was a judgement error. I still feel that if I was on the Heatwave 135, I would have ended up more injured than on the Hurricane.
I didn't have a problem landing this canopy before, and nobody said a word before this, because I landed it fine.
