Skydiving

[Brokenlink]

So I've been skydiving for years in my head and one thing that has always confused me is how to fold a parachute. I've tried multiple ways from the crinkling method to the vertical fold to the increasing radius Jerry Titus method.

Anything I am missing?

Consider the triangular flag fold.
It can be very compact.

I have never skydived irl yet. Give the fortune teller fold a try, it is sure to open somehow.

Packing a chute is a very important part of the license exam.

What kind of "chute" is required in the packing exam?

I packed the parachute on the water bottle rocket; never had a parachute fail.
Although it’s been a long time since I did it last, and don’t remember the technique.

Skydiving is not for me.
I can safely say I'll never be injured in a skydiving accident unless someone lands on me.

never ever will I ever go skydiving on purpose.

Arthritis is in the joints, you know.

I did a tandem jump once, and it just wasn't that interesting to me.

I got no sense of "freedom", no sense of speed, it was just a windy ride down to the ground.

I went with two buddies. Lucky guy got a hot chick.
Second luckiest guy got an average sized dude with an amazing sense of humor.

I got a small effeminate fella who insisted on tandeming as soon as we got on the goddamn plane.

stand up, hook up shuffle to the door
jump right out and count to four
