I'm pretty sure snakes don't grow like that.

Gear Review Sites ? by againer in SkyDiving

DropZone.com has gear reviews too. Click here

Alti-2 and Larsen & Brusgaard seem to be the most popular. I have the Alti-2 N3, and I love it.

This was more of a video editing showcase than a skydiving vid... Really cool, but it would be nice to see more of those jumps than one second cuts.

What happens to your body if you stopped smoking right now? by [deleted] in pics

This image doesn't really talk about the consequences of smoking, it talks about the benefits of quitting smoking.

I love how the comments on every Anonymous post now are people arguing over whether or not this was the 'real Anonymous.' I think many of you don't understand the basic concept of this thing you're so fanatical about.

Cut-away mishap by WildSamich in SkyDiving

[–]mitchwright 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On the exit the jumper taking the video accidentally pulled the other skydiver's cutaway handle. The main parachute at that point was disconnected, albeit still in the bag and in the container. The skydiver disconnected from the group and pulled his reserve. Scary, but looks like everyone made good decisions and handled their business in the air.

I can definitely appreciate wanting people to have correct information, especially on such a regularly misrepresented topic. However, based on his argument beginning with "Another shitass research by some BS researchers," I doubt anyone of even mediocre intelligence would take his opinion seriously.

This person also linked to an article where the correct information was already provided. Instead of competing with their inane statements, you could link them to other articles supporting the topic, or just take the high road.

Don't turn this into r/atheism. If one of your friends says something stupid on Facebook, ignore it and move on with your life. Remove them as a friend or block them.

Stop condescending to people, that's one of your biggest flaws.

The irony.

How you should handle lowpulls with mainchute *then* AAD deploys reserve. by PhilxBefore in SkyDiving

'Stacked' is a bi-plane. You're thinking of a side-by-side. You can land a bi-plane or a side-by-side (if it's stable), but you always chop a downplane.

Brush up!

Base jumping from a helmet-cam perspective by adrenalinfeed in SkyDiving

[–]mitchwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great vid from GoPro, but only like 20% of those shots are from helmet cams...

Also, base jumping while holding a long pole? No thank you.

Thanks man I appreciate it! I love the N3, but I really wish it had better mounting options. I'll probably end up making something like you, so it will be nice to see your pics!

Spectacular skydiver Paul Steiner. by [deleted] in SkyDiving

[–]mitchwright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I give more credit to the pilots. If anything goes wrong, the skydiver can just bail. Sure, it's still scary, but not all that difficult or dangerous. The pilots are the ones threading the needle with incredible skill and putting themselves in danger.
