Sorry to hear about the broken leg, hope it heals well. Hopefully the meds are working very very well.... SkyDekker

Hey Michele, You've got me a little worried now. I am happy it all worked out for you, but you had a 3rd jump mal, I had a 3rd jump mal. I really don't feel like following you in this one. But then again.....I would be self supervised as opposed to still on SL

My vote goes to the red white blue, but I seem to be completely and all alone ohh well, I'm alone up there too
-
Never thought of it that way, but makes lots of sense. I think I will stick to SL, get selfsupervised, my A license and really start learning

There seem to be many newbie questions being asked lately, so here is my .02 worth. I am currently in a SL progression and was wondering what people on DZ.com think is the better training program. I have been really wondering lately if I should switch to AFF and whether AFF will teach me better freefalling skills. Or should I just stick with SL/AID? I have 4 jumps under SL and couldn't jump this weekend. Hurt my fingers and hand in a reserve ride "crash" landing a week ago Justin

At the DZ they told me it was probably a tension knot. The riser was all the way down, but the right side of it was crumpled. As I remember it, the lines on the right were tisted, but in all honesty they could have been crossed as well. What is a step-through? Blue Skies, Justin

My instructor did not see the mal. He was in the plane going to 6,000' for a 20 sec delay student. But after I told him he told me, together with other instructors and the DZO's, that it was a good pull. They think it was a tension knot in one of the lines. My JM said that he had landed a mal like that before, but with a lot more experience than me and that someone on a third jump with no wind should never try and land a chute like that.

Pammi, the student rigs at Skydive Toronto are SOS, so one handle supposedly does both cutaway and deployment.

This was the first time that my girlfriend actually joined me on a day at the dropzone to see what exactly I had gotten addicted to. Four weeks ago I did my first jump in the Static Line progression and was hooked instantly. What in incredible feeling to jump out of a plane and then glide back down to earth. I am pretty sure that 4 hours after my first jump I was still talking way too loud
-
I am soooo jealous. I am doing static line progression, have done two jumps so far and can't wait to have my first little bit of freefall. Even just a little one, like 5 seconds. Hopefully if Monday turns out to be a nice day up here in Canada, I will be able to and get three jumps in. I can't wait

For someone growing up in Europe and now living in Canada, it is very amusing to read about stupid lawsuits in the US. God knows, there are enough of them. My favorite is a surfer in California sueing another surfer for stealing his wave. The only reason it got thrown out of court is because they could not set a value for the wave . Sinister, sorry to hear about your accident, great to see your attitude.........

I have read all the responses and it almost sounds chinese to me

Ok so I have two jumps under my belt and therefor still know nothing about skydiving. Hence, the following question: What are those obvious reasons?
