Ok, SORRY masta!

Yea it is. but i've been watching it for a while now and just noticed it last night...

Anyone catch it?

Nice dude! wish i could have been out there today instead of in the office. what's your name? I jump out there. I only have 13 jumps now and i'm steve. i'm going to be out there this weekend even if its crappy to get some of my license requirements out of the way. so maybe i'll see you out there. remember to relax! and have waaay too much fun!

lutz was a lawyer? So did he file a suite or something? Thanks for the explanation man! its really interesting to hear from that perspective!

Oh i thought he did fall. but yea, either way bad news! what happened to his risers/harness? why did it detatch when he pulled his main?

no-one's AFF could have gone as bad as that one guy who is on the "when things go wrong" clip where his instructor pulled for him, his riser came detached and sent him tumbling out of instructors grasp, fell back-to-earth, pulled reserve at 2k or something, under a fully functional reserve, and ends up in the power lines, got electrocuted and fell like 40 or 50 feet to the ground.... THAT is a "first AFF failed really bad!" seriously though, i bet your situation was really scary and i'm glad you are safe man!

My opening was normal. i was in a standard belly down position. nothing weird... it just ... broke. The opening seemed normal. I might have mentioned it earlier, but i've had sofer openings... but i've had harder as well. I wanted to question the DZO but, i was just glad to be alive... and also my foot hurt like 3 bitches on a bitch boat!

how did you hurt yourself if you dont mind me asking? i Just hurt my foot about 2 1/2 months ago landing a broken line. I made a thread about it a couple days ago. Do what im going to do. Pay money, take a refresh class and jump again! I've been running my accident through my head a lot too, and i just accepted it as a painful lesson. never underestimate your reserve chute. (in my case that is) attached is some battle wounds

Minneapolis, MN haha. although i have an awesome girlfriend, and i didnt get her by playing guitar:)

You wouldnt know me. I was a lurker since 2001 for the most part. Names just stick with me and i never forget them. Im pretty much done with HC now that i got my splawn quickrod. I spent many years trying stuff out and finally settled on the QR. I have to wait till im out of school to get the suhrs that i want. My GAS will be cured. Kinda random huh? Ive had that happen before playing football. It was nasty watching the bruising seep to the bottom of my foot. I sprained it so bad the doctor said he could basically take my foot and bend my ankle 90 deg. He didnt try it, just making a point. You are very lucky man. Nice dude. where you located? i still lurk the forums from time to time if im bored at work. nothing changes. I love skydiving as much as i love playing guitar. one can kill me and one can get me girls :) haha jk

hey i sure am! who's this? and thank you BTW! ::blushes:: but that foot looks nasty huh? i was suprised it wasnt broken! just lots of bruising and swelling. its still a little swollen, and a little bruised and hurts on a cold day haha

it didnt seem like it was too hard of an opening really. I've had harder ones. but also sofer ones too. i didnt repack it, i layed straight down with some ice and elevated that B. uploaded some pictures of my foot

It was a couple months ago and i dont remember which line it was and why my legs were apart... i have no idea... stupid. i learned a lot from this dive... a lot of what to do and what NOT to do.
