Aortic Valves and Canopies with Extreme Sniveling
skydiverek replied to TheCapt's topic in Skydivers with Disabilities
Please jump: Spectre. With slider one size larger (ask PD). Dacron lines (they stretch, which makes a HUGE difference in case of hard opening). -
i miss this magazine, nothing else compares
skydiverek replied to kleggo's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
This is the only magazine I re-read. -
Speedflyer can have a premature opening. If he is the first out, the following flat fliers will be directly over him. Vertical seperation does NOT always work! We want to have horizontal separation.

skydiverek replied to Erroll's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Video attached, looks like a delayed parachute deloyment: - time interval between AAD fire (smoke visible from parachute rocket launch) and parachute appearing. - parachute seems to be reefed (like on space rocket). So, the Cypres might have fired at 750 feet, but it was not enough for this kind of parachute, IMO. 20220425_174719.mp4 -

Luke Aikins planning new stunt.
skydiverek replied to Erroll's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Authorities investigating The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has now launched an investigation into the stunt, which it says never received the green light to go ahead. The agency said in a statement it had not approved Red Bull’s request on Friday for a safety exemption. In a denial letter, FAA argued the attempt “would not be in the public interest and cannot find that the proposed operation would not adversely affect safety”. . -

The plane is totaled (crash landed), looks like parachute might have entangled with the tail and did not slow it down enough. BTW, here is the corcscrew part from the live stream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODCzlEyaSDM -

I believe it was Sunpath company testing Mars (M2) AAD, not Mars company testing Sunpath rig. -

Recommendation: Hook Knife, Sheath and placement
skydiverek replied to Rio Santonil's topic in Gear and Rigging
These knives are great! Made of a SINGLE piece of steel (meaning, blade is NOT a seperate piece). Big one: Small one: I have both models. Bigger one under mud flap, smaller one under front leg strap cover (above the legstrap hardware). One high, one low. One on the right, one on the left. Just in case one of your arms is broken, or you cannot reach high or low in a canopy wrap. See below: -
