I haven't jumped in many years, but I used to jump a lot. I learned to jump when I lived in Stuttgart Germany. A good buddy of mine that I went snow skiing most every weekend in the winter with, was a jump master with the Golden Knights prior to being stationed in Germany. He talked me into sky diving, and I got hooked. I was going most every weekend in the summer months. I had a close call one time, but it was my own fault as I trash packed my chute and it came out all tangled up. I was at about 800 ft when I dumped my main and deployed my reserve. I ended up in a corn field with a rather hard landing. LOL. My main was a 9 cell, but my reserve was a round canopy.

Wow, a round reserve thats old school. Glad you cut away that malfunction in time. Im not looking forward to my first but i know it will probably happen one day.

Everyone has thier own opinions on what other people have to say Rush. I like reading the back and forth sometimes. -- at least you don't die and reappear.
