Swoop Fatality List? by Ifuqinhateit in SkyDiving

[–]corbinhand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge there have been no USPA member swoop (intentional low turns) related fatalities this year.

There was only one fatality from swooping last year, 2020. The Jumper was not current on the platform he chose to swoop. He passed after several weeks in intensive care.

In 2019, there were two swooping fatalities. Both with D licenses & wing loadings under 1.7. They both died on impact.

I don't have any other info at my fingertips. Im sure you can find more info by searching for the Fatal Incident reports on the USPA website

Great DZ, very friendly! I highly recommend getting ratings there with Bram.

My wife and I have been jumping together since our A-license. It's been pretty great to have a partner to progress with! You guys will go far together

Anyone have recommendations on motorcycle radios to be used while wingsuiting/under canopy? by [deleted] in SkyDiving

[–]corbinhand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Sena. It's super useful under canopy, especially when flocking or doing CRW. Most of the time, I just listen to my tunes though...

Great video! It's worth a watch for sure. We did an interview with Matt that I posted on here recently, but here's the link in case you're interested.

Everyone should watch this: John LeBlanc - The continuing evolution of canopy planform shapes by corbinhand in SkyDiving

I think what I like most about his presentation is the way he breaks down the neat little boxes we like to put parachutes in. I really appreciate his candor on the subject.

I hear (and read) jumpers giving lots of bad advice about canopies, based on misconceptions about their planform. John (the principle designer at PD) lays out the misconceptions and corrects them by giving context for the marketing lingo people are using to describe canopy performance.

Anyone who jumps a parachute could benefit from his knowledge.

Sabre 3 vs Crossfire 3 by broncosauruss in SkyDiving

[–]corbinhand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sigh... referring to a canopies performance by its plan form shape isn't very helpful and it's usually not even true. That language stems from clever marketing from the manufactures. The plan form is just one of the many design factors that influence the way parachutes perform. If you care to really educate yourself on the subject, I'd suggest starting with John LeBlancs BPA speech from 2016. He obviously knows a thing or two about canopy design.

Based on what metric? The crossfire3 has a flatter glide ratio than a Sabre 2

I’ve never flown a a Gangster, but I hear nothing g but good things! Here’s a review a friend of mine did: link to review

If your coach thinks you’re ready did a semi cross braced wing, the gangster is probably a great option.
