Hi Andy,

Good point. As long as it is a parachute that I took good care of, I
imagine it would be fine after 20 years. But I also wouldn't buy a used
parachute that is that old.

it solely up to the rigger to pack or refuse a chute that age?

Still looking for a used chute that will not break the bank after
recently buying an ASW-20.

Thanks, Gary Adams GA2


Neither I, nor to the best of my knowledge my rigger, have a concern that
my chute is over 20 years old.

I've owned it since new and know how it has been taken care of. However
I would not consider buying a chute that was over 20 years old.
