To me this common sense seems to apply to other areas of life. Thanks for the good show blue skies fun days.

How has this been up a year and no one has caught the massive typo in the title ?? hahaha

At 4:50 your video shows a jumper snagged on a step. See the January 2024 issue of CANPARA Magazine for a more detailed explanation. Hint: Cessna factory stock steps are the worst.

Reference the torn container at 3:21 ... I have had to sew back together a Vector, a Sidewinder and a Flexon after jumpers deployed unstable. After that I convinced the Sidewinder factory to install little triangles at the lower corners of the reserve container. Those triangles have two functions. First, they remind packers to route main risers straight down the sides of the main container. Secondly, they steer main risers away from snagging under the corner of the reserve container.

The longest I have seen rubber bands last was 3 years in a pilot emergency parachute in the hot and dusty California desert. Sadly, modern rubber bands are not nearly as durable.

UPT published that Service Bulletin - banning rubber bands on hip rings -because it forces the two pieces of webbing to rub together too tightly. In comparison, Rigging Innovations did not see the first frayed leg straps until a Flexon returned to the factory after 1,000 jumps in the Arizona desert. Flexon was the first skydiving harness with hip rings.

Thank you soooo much for sharing!

I have 2 tandem and 8 solo jumps. That first tandem I was calm as can be until the door open. Then I was scared shitless. The second tandem was better. My first solo jump I was also terrified. Even on my latest (8th solo) I'm still freaked out leaving that plane. I love the canopy flying of skydiving so that's the only reason I jump lol.

Thank you u love feel the fear and do it anyway

Thank you for your episodes on skydiving, I’ve been jumping for 53 years and really appreciate the subjects. I believe I’m never too old to either refresh or learn, please keep them coming rgds starshine

Tunnel is a great training tool. But your video title needs to be rewritten as it makes no sense.

Good point, Jules! Here in US I also started taking newbies to fly video behind the formation - they learn the canopy, they watch the action and understand the concept quickly, and they also learn to fly camera position. The same concept I took to a competition level - it is so much better to train 3 people right away in a beginner 2-way CF team and make them interchangeable: any of them can fly camera and any position of the 2-way. They learn all positions. This way we can grow more proficient CRW fliers!!

What a tough little cutter. I hope that I do not have a need to use one for quite some time ( if ever.)

How the hell does it cut through steel cable???

Well said, Garnett!

I came from a DZ with 2 landing direction to a DZ with 3 LZs and constantly changing wind direction and landing patterns. I much prefer 2 directions because it makes it simple and don't mind landing crosswind. That being said, this new DZ has really taught me to pay attention more to the wind and watching what the hell is going on. Everyone lands off at some point and possibly in a backyard.

Simple. Don't misrig it. I remember when Booth invented it. Before then we used shot-and-half Capewells. The 3 Ring has saved countless lives! Be nice. You're truly blessed.

My god. These guys used to just slam the ground.

Love the sound effects. :)

Did I tell you my friend was sucked out from a PC? Yeah, lived barely, freaking crazy.

To stop a flip over surely a plastic (deformable and disposable) bridle could be added. Think of a double-sided Y keeping the rings apart. Just a thought for future safety for you guys.

Aren't there fewer accidents when the canopy is round.

Thank you! For the algo, tell me, what is your favorite pizza topping, and why is it pineapple?

👍

Thanks for the quick tip!

The spooky music is unnecessary. This isn't a ghost story.

That's because no one identifies who the rigger is that fucked up!

There are riggers that I would not even let pack my lunch

Great video Jules McConnell. I remember being GCA on the training camp when Lyall Waddell came over from Canada to teach Parabatics at Lower Light and it was fantastic and great you are further stepping forward CRW training to another level. Good luck from Eddy and Lenny the galah. Spirit of Lower Light. 21 April 2024 17:05 hrs Adelaide Standard Time

Great video!

Why is that person flying diagonally across the landing area at a jumper on the ground?

Graet video...why I do so much coached jumps...just to be groomed into good habits ...thats the idea anyways.

This entire time i thought you were in Australia!

Can you do a video on how to measure risers? i was told I needed shorter risers and a friend gave me his. but how do i know i got the right size? where do i measure from? Thanks.

Brian Germain and Dean Ricci have great books on fear. Solo, stress free jumps really helped me when I was going through AFF. I think you should watch all of the TEEM videos and learn how your gear works. Read and watch everything skydiving. Take a canopy course right away!

Great acronym for FEAR and your videos are always appreciated! Thanks for keeping us vigilant and continually learning!

Tube stows or rubber bands

I've got 3 tandems under my belt. Two, 23 years ago, and most recent was 2019. On the last one, I felt door terror until I was out of the plane. That surprised me. I noticed that when I was at that place mentally, so was everything else I worried about just flooding my being. The jump went great, but I needed to handle my business; kids, career, and all my obligations not being ok. I learned that my life was out of balance. Hopefully soon, I can get my rating.

Low altitude aircraft failure is my biggest fear. I'm always looking for landing areas while climbing.

I experienced some intense fear, now have 66 jumps. Haven't been able to jump in a year and life is not the same it's quite dull.

I havent jumped solo yet but i have watched hours of rigging videos. Haha

I was lying in bed watching this and screamed at 4:52.

If you are a guest please follow the rules of the host DZ Thanks

This vocal has to go to the CNN 😆

Thank you for doing this one! It's a real problem during events!

Are you a APF Instructor?

Awesome post...I have been looking for examples of 3 ring mis riggings...just getting back into it after 20 years off.

Your channel is the best! Always exited when I see a new video.

Wow this is so sick!

what when i use to jump it use to cost back in the 60s is lot Cheep than it cost today of course equipment now cost more
