I'm still working on filling my packing card, and have yet to jump my own pack job....will probably do that this weekend.
I have no fear of jumping my own pack though, after I was made the butt of a practical joke at my DZ...
my first pack job on an exp jumpers rig, I was nervous to see it jumped, the guy jumping it seemed even more nervous, taking about chopping it and the cost of a re-pack etc... I found out his jump order and watched the skies with much anticipation ( half the DZ came out to watch it)
out he came, collapsed end cell and went into a high speed spin, the guys around me are yelling at Lenny to chop it ...my nerves were shot, I had packed a damn mal!
until all eyes turned to me and they started laughing.
The fuckers pulled a good one over on me. I found out it was actually a nice soft opening. He pulled hard on the front riser for the spin .
