seems to me that a chute large enough to carry the pilot and glider would be
the best bet. forget the bailout. if for whatever reason you fly yourself into a situation or midair and crash is inevitable, deploy, save yourself as well as the glider. "." wrote in message om... I went for a ride in a glider many years ago and was immediately taken with the whole experience. I have always wanted to fly and now have the time to do it as I am finished with my skydiving career. Before I sell my rigs I wanted to ask a question. Do any of you wear pilot rigs? Before I trade some gear for a pilot rig....what is the reality of actually getting out of a glider if you have a structural failure or something catastrophic? I am a realist and can accept the fact there are inherent risks up there believe me, but I don't want to buy a rig if it's a mute point. Do any of you wear rigs? Thanks for the advice. |
