i havn't skydived with a broken nose before but it wouldn't stop me, i have broken my nose 4 times in fights and falling down stairs and having scafolding fall on me. Never broken a real bone though. if it doesn't sto you from going from a jog then i don't think it will be a problem. but take a ride to altitude to see if your cinuses act up, if they do just take the plane down or dive out.

yeah you were saying they tried welding nylon, does that hold strongly beauces couldn't they just use plastic sheet or soemthing like that. Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a night, set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.???

have a normal container and use thick clear plastic that is welded together. have you ever been to the airport and gone on a comericial flight and had something of yours put in a big plastic bag? thats the type of plastic im thinking of, really heavy stuff. it'd be kind cool too because if they worked and were easy to make then cutting away wouldn't be such a costly event.

another post about adhesive tapes touching your container
TheJokergs replied to The111's topic in Gear and Rigging
get a rigger to sew a patch where they put this rigging tag, and then ask them to put it on that patch so it won't destroy your rig. i think you are overreacting, but its better to prevent this "problem" from the start. just like not steping on rock climbing ropes.

i read the links posted and they were saying something about jumping a round with a rubber band around the top of the chute so it opened faster. with a mod like this could you jump the lower heights?

umm, im not a jumper, im planing too, so im just reading and dreaming about it for now. so yeah. but my plans are to join the army as a rigger, get losts of round and square jumps. Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a night, set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.???
-
which is cheaper square or round. im not sure if this is a stupid idea or not but wouldn't it be better to do static line BASE jumps with a round instead of a square. so when the cop take your equipment its not something really valuble like your normal rig.

Yeah it one of my future goals to do sometime. but study up on it. the scariet thing i think about the whole concept if hypoxia. at 40,000 feet, you suffer permanent brain dammage after 20 seconds without oxygen. thats what scares me the most about doing it. But another scary thing. you can get the bends from going to high with nitrogen in your blood, thats why you breath pure oxygen for an hour befor flight to altitude. oh and its cold. but thats all small shit, put it on your clander in a few years.

umm. tyhe latest bond film feateures something like this, but your sort of ride it like a body board. is it real? does anyone know what it's called? and are they any good? Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a night, set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.???

Why are the GK's only enlisted and no officers. is this just the competition teams or is it the whole group. The only thing i can thing of would be its like a reward to the enlisted, something that the officers can't have.

Canadian guided parachute delivery solutions-
TheJokergs replied to smiles's topic in Gear and Rigging
actually combat drops happen at about 750 to 500 feet . under a round canopie your not in the air very long, and at night its really hard to see paratroopers floating down to you, so sitting duck ain't the best description. but i could see this as a useful device if they wanted to steer something big from a high altitude, maybe a truck or motorcycle equipment for special forces or something like that. -
why would you want your Freefly suit to be baggy, isn't it all about going fast? and wouldn't having a tight streamlined suit do that for you? Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a night, set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.???

what canopies do the military use??? not rounds!
TheJokergs replied to TheJokergs's topic in Gear and Rigging
what canopies do the military use??? not rounds! i just saw a Mach3 Alpha on http://www.totalcontrol.com.au/ and parachute de france' was selling militaary equipment like their canopies it just made me think, are there any distrinct advantages to having a military canopy?

personly i would go for the curved stripes, but are you ging to keep those colors??? i woudl just have thought you'd want more contrasting colors or something like that. are you getting this suit custom made or is it from a manufatures line???

use a brace that you wear on your back, it would be able to 'click' into the extended position and you have your wing. Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a night, set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.???

this thread is old but im a creative person and this sounds cool. Change the wing suit so that the fabric is between your legs and then there is fabric going from your legs strait to your arms, so that you have to extend your arms fully forward to get the material taught. this creates a bigger wing, each would have to be individually made but an average wing would now be about 25sq feet. Now that isn't big, so have seems added to create a stack of wings, sort of like a bi-plane, but more like 5 of them, you could make the pattern of the suit push air in certain directions as it left these tunnels so that you create force going downwards and stuff like that. Anyway just an idea i had, but to land it you would need to be riding a street luge face down a rung way. and you would also need a small chute to stopp your movement so you don't take off once you star decelerating on the rungway.
