I want to jump but everyone bail's when its time, meaning when I actually got the $.
That situation would have me FREAKING out!
Anyone ever use the webbed suit? How many jumps you need before you can use one? (That's what I really want to do)

So the chute deployed properly then collapsed after it was already filled with air?
I have had a line twists everytime i jump but its always "out of the bag" before the chute fills..

Yup! I flew my parachute for a good 2-3 min before it collapsed on me. I flew through a dust devil in a turn and thats what collapsed it.
There are a few guys who fly the wing suites, mostly the camera dudes because it gives them more control and stability.

I was in the paras and it wasn't that type of parachute ( static line type ) the old military type and that sort of thing was pretty common and mostly gotten out of ( thank god for the safety parachute ) the new stuff has come a long way

Jeff, I'll kick you out of the plane as long as you manage to wrap a line around my foot and drag me out after you!
Haha, I'd totally love to do that but I can't fly. Too bad for me!
