Indeed, the video took a bit long to load but was worth the wait. Those were very exciting jumps! I just notice there are those whose chutes are already open before jumping. Others still have them on their back and release it after jumping. At what point should you release it? Like do you count 1-2-3 from the moment you jump then release tge chute?
Where is that bridge that you folks jumped from?
Hey, the super market jobby mask looks cute. I can't help giggling. 😄
Thanks for your kind words!
Yes some jumps we used a 'static line' so the parachute opens as soon as we jump. Other jumps we went 'handheld', where we hold the pilot chute and throw it after 1 - 2 seconds so we get to experience that freefall feeling.
Some of the other jumps are called 'unpacked jumps' where the parachute is out already, these are fun jumps to do, so we did a great mix of jumps in the 4 day trip :-)
Is there any advantage or disadvantage of the static line, handheld or unpacked jumps? Like for newbie versus pro maybe?
