Great stuff! Thought the jumper put on a pretty good macho imitation.
Give it a few months and it will be a great story. He'll be wondering why he's embellishing it. Listeners will think he's nuts. "HECTOP" wrote in message ...

Just in case anyone hasn't jumped a round before.......from what I saw he
was right to deploy his reserve. The round reserve is designed to fly with the main. There is no need to cut away as you do with a square. Everyone should jump a round at least once... :-) "Maule Driver" wrote in message . com... Great stuff! Thought the jumper put on a pretty good macho imitation.
