It's the same for most politicians. None should be judged by what they say, only what they do.

I never remove mine when it's getting packed. I only remove it for the reserve repack.

I was very happy with my previous Pilot and just recently upsized it two sizes. I like everything about it from opening to the good landings, wind or no wind.

No negative issues. I love it. The only time I take it off is for a reserve repack and that's really not necessary. I use the one in the picture made by a friend who unfortunately died last year from non skydiving illness. I think they are still available.

I've had one for more than 10 (Look Ma) years and I love it. It's always there and does not interfere with my right wrist. In the old days we wore it on our chest strap.

https://skydivingmagazine.org/browse-issues/ I started skydiving around 1987 and reading theses old magazines have given me such great pleasure and sadness. There is so much that I missed before I started skydiving and since then, so many great people are no longer with us. On the plus side, I really enjoy the history and the great memories of all that has happened. I knew Mike, but not very well and now can really appreciate the writing and history. Thank you Sue for making them available.

You can, but I'd be concerned with where you store it and how often you have jumped it between services. Also remember that when it's needed, if it doesn't work, you will probably die.

"Search" can be your friend. Lots of opinions.

I have sold gear through ChutingStar in GA. I sent them the gear and they prepared a written report that anyone purchasing the gear would want to see to determine the age and condition. They can also act as an intermediary for the money transaction. 770 445 4000.

I don't think that most with a malfunction forgot to deploy their reserve after a cut away, I think they were trying to be riggers in the sky and ran out of time. An RSL removes that step from the equasion.

Skydive Chicago comes pretty close, along with Peris in California. Z-Hills and Deland are not too shabby either.

I'm not a rigger, but I think the simple answer is that in general, one side is enough and both could invite a problem. In an of it's self, an RSL is simple and has saved many lives. Not having it as led to deaths.

Facebook Market Place also works.
