Why didn's they use such harness, which quaratnees that the legs are up even if you are paralyzed jumper (tandem mastre can lift your legs by pulling on the special straps and attaching them to special attachment points): Watch from time 17:10 : http://youtu.be/7F4s9Hmo980?t=17m10s Photo: http://static.parade.condenast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Vernon-Maynard-skydiving-100-year-old-ftr.jpg

    I would recommend a 1-pin Cypres for a 1-pin container, and a 2-pin Cypres for a 2-pin container.

    At 100k ft I doubt that there is enough air density to even inflate a parachute much less blow one up. You would still want to cut it away, even if it is not inflated and falling in a big wad next to you. Imagine that (Felix's) flat spin with the parachute deployed right next to him...

    True, this is how it says in the FAA Parachute Rigger Handbook.

    Yes, our cards include: Swipe, Chip, CVV, and Paypass/Paywave (remote no-touch transactions from 3-inch distance or so). Do your cards with the chip, Etc have a protective sleeve to prevent the bad peeps that carry a black box from stealing your CC info? You can buy those for like $1. There are other preventive measures, like maximum transaction value of $17, and maximum number of daily transactions. Also, you get a text message each time your card is used, so you are alerted to thief's activity.

    Does it feel "heavy"?

    Larger Technos do have TSO, smaller ones do not. Or opposite ;-). Download the Techno manual and look at the table - it states that right there.

    The wrist non-velcro hand mount is the most comfortable handmount I have ever had. 500 jumps, no replacement needed. http://robnik.com/index_htm_files/212.jpg
