Default Lifespan of a parachute canopy?

wrote:
Eric,

Why don't you come by my house and I will show you some canopies
ranging from 10 to 20 years of age that I pulled out of different rigs.
Maybe then you would comprehend some of the issues related to
parachutes.
But I kinda doubt it. I am tired of you attacking me and my
position on parachute issues, I did not know that you had such a vast
knowledge about parachutes without being a rigger or at least having a
few jumps behind your belt.


I apologize for it sounding like an attack - I know sometimes I'm too
terse and confrontational, and it comes out badly. What I meant it to be
was a request for more information so I could understand the situation
better, particularly since my parachute is 26 years old. Obviously,
there are some differing opinions on this issue of lifespan, including
those of the manufacturer of my parachute, and I'm trying to sort them out.
