Does anyone have a link to concerte laws govering skydiving? If i were to jump out of my friends plane and land in my yar is this legal? Granted the pilot needs to make sure flying is legal but i cant seem to find any information regarding the legality of the actualy jump. Ive heard you just need permission from th epilot that you jump with and the owner of the land that you use to land. But this is hear say and i need some concerte info

So your saying dont trust the size guidelines mirage has on their site?

So im new to skydiving and I need everyone’s opinion on buying a rig. Im currently 215Lbs 6’1” and have been jumping for a few weeks now. Ive just recently downsize from the student 300 chute to a 260 and will be downgrading again after a few jumps. Here is what I need some advice on. I don’t like buying used gear that I have to trust my life to, I don’t do it for climbing so id rather not do it for skydiving either. I also don’t like throwing my money away on rentals (rentals also don’t fit me all that well). After doing some research I think the best option for me would be to wait until im ready to downsize to a 210 chute and at that point place an order for a mirage G3 or G4 size M5. The M5 is built to fit perfectly with some of the PD 210 chutes. I can then jump with this until I need to down grade at which point I can still use the mirage container and just down grade from 210 to 190 to 170. On there site mirage states that the container holds safely a large number of chutes from 210 down to 169 and even a 135. So it seems like I would not need to worry about getting a new container for some time and therefore it seems like it might be worth it for me to get one made that fits properly. I would of course be buying used chutes for the time being. Does this sound like a good plan or no, I could really use your advice. Ive run this buy a few guys at my DZ and some say it’s a bad idea and others say it’s a great idea.
