Sorry, that was my Burt Bronson imitation. He's a famous rockclimbing forum troll, a personality used by many in many incarnations.
SERIOUSLY!!! REAL MEN USE ALL CAPS!!!! ALL THE TIME!!!!
To be honest, I've never skydived but I've been on the ground in the mountains and watched USFS smokejumpers smash into trees to avoid missing they're landing zone or flying over a ridge. Seems like squares would have been much smarter, but I don't really know.
I do like to kiteboard and some of my foil kites look suspiciously like your jumping rigs, only on a kite I'm facing the open foils and I think you guys/gals run with the wind.

Anyways, just wanted to say hello, lame ass troll style.
Cool site, lots of interesting shit to learn here.
Thanks for the welcome.
