Yeah, but as far as I know it's kinda hard to wheelie parachute through somebody's neighborhood.

Oh wait, I actually have no idea what I'm talking about. I just had to make that wise crack.

Ouch!!

Best wishes for a fast recovery!!!

I am really sad to hear about the awesome summer plans all fuxxored. Maybe with a speedy recovery, you can make it a fall trip when the kiddies are back in school and the roads are less crowded.

Good luck, man.

And I think we have to have a talk with High Kommand about all of this insubordination re: standing order regarding not crashing.

I'm just curious as to why you have a bra on your harness...

GG, are you referencing the blue thing behind my head and on the risers I'm holding???

Zer0 · Post by **Zer0** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 9:17 am

Yes, that.

More importantly, Does it fit properly? Looks like things other than your left ankle are a'floppin. No worries (great comments too). You're welcome:

Silly boys, that's no bra-It's a slider. The sliders soul purpose is to aid in slowing down the opening of the parachute during deployment. The advent of the slider is among the most important in skydive history, without it, the canopy would open hard enough to cause injury. After the opening sequence is through, it just flops around and makes a bunch of noise. I typically roll it up and strap it down to the container to keep out of the way of my head and cut down on wind resistance.

That was a pretty slick way to justify tying a bra to your chute.

i had my girl, who's been jumping longer than me, read this thread. She thinks you guys are pretty funny and wishes you would make fun of me more.

On the bright side I'm pretty sure this qualifies for a gimp club membership

No shit. Sliders. That's what my wife's bra turns into when I'm wantin some--just slide it right off.

But why did you manly jumpers revert to using brassiers to slow the chute deployment? Not too intimidating to the enemy seeing the 101st dropping down on them with pastel blue bras floating over their heads. Guess it's better than having a pair of skivvies waving above you though.
