get bundled out of there pretty sharpish don't they!

Whats with that inflated canopy shape? Not like the perfect half sphere I expect. Guess my parachute knowledge is just outdated, or non-existant

I see what you mean Tom. They're definitely not like the green 'double L' chutes I've jumped with. Very pretty though. Perhaps they're 'art' too

I have yet to jump but, looking at costs....
I figured if I was going to pay to be in a plane I'd just as soon as fly it then jump from it.

..... maybe someday I'll give it a try.. ..
I have arrainged for my ashes to be released from a plane though... will that count?

Not as scary as the C4 documentary I saw a few years ago on P company.

Several lads jumping out of a balloon on static line at not very high altitude. Proper bottle tester.

The first lad out was heard to say "One Thousand, Two Thousand, Three Thousand, Check Canopy, (looks up) That Fook for that!"

Gawd bless em..

The balloon jump comes when P Company is completed..with your folks watching

..then when you think you're done, 15 mile road runs with logs, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 0600

For anyone with an hour or so to spare:
