I meant it more along the lines of it being a better type of chute for people who currently base-jump as the canopy opens a lot earlier, cant see it ever being used for the purpose in the article lol
It is a gimmick to be honest, the chute is just a regular BASE chute with high vis colours and a logo.

The reason why it opens sooner is because of the BASE chute having much much shorter ropes and the canopy is much much lager surface area, also the jump is 'static line'/'cute assist' meaning the pilot chute is all ready out/pulled at the point of exit, the guy stood behind the jumper on the balcony has hold of his pilot chute and lets go for him when his main chute opens removing the need to manually pull.
You can actually just hold the pilot chute in your hand and throw it in the air as you jump and it will do the same thing.

This vids explain it better than I can in words, lol.

The technique is usually used for jumps of 100m or lower.


I've thought about taking a chute on plane journeys as my hand luggage just in case though, but then if something fucks up at thousands of feet would they really open the door to let you jump to your safety or would they expect you to go down with the plane like everybody else!? :?

Unfortunately, you can't open the door on a commercial plane in flight. There is a mechanism to prevent it. They brought it in after the D.B.Cooper incident.

Just had a gander on wiki and it may only be on 747's.
No, it was on 727's if you mean the 'cooper vane'. The thing is, the same was achieved through other methods (usually avionics) on other aircraft. Not that anyone would jump out of a 727 door without an airstair. You'd go straight through an engine.

And this is where the phrase smashing the back door in comes from :p

The post has just arrived Tip Top, nice one mate.....;)
Good to hear it :) Silly me though, should have thrown a couple seeds of the other BB strains in while i was at it. Got a bunch of Dippy Elsie, Engineers dream and deep psychosis i ent doing owt with.

Went through my seed bags yesterday and noticed a whole bunch of bits and pieces, small sugar leaves etc. Havn't gotten that high in a long time. Mixture of strains that have all technically been curing for 12 months. Sat down and played about 3 hors of star wards without realising it.

Sorry, my bad. Misread it.

I only really fly cheap Euro flights though so I've only been on the small Airbus models like the A320.

I'd rather just smoke it. I don't like the idea of perpetuating the cannabis pricing bollocks. To put it into perspective, cannabis sells for the same price per gram as saffron does in your local supermarket. That's just fucking nuts, have you seen where saffron comes from?
cheese is about the price of silver per gramme round here no joke.

- interesting about the saffron, i read up on wiki about it, a clones just like cheese was it like a phenotype as well.

Huh? Saffron. As in the cooking ingridient. Saffron is the individual stigma of a plant, generally hand picked. About 2 per plant.

Look at it this way. Consider saffron as pistils. Would it seem right that if someone hand picked a gram of pistils, it should sell for the same price as someone just picking a gram of bud. In cannabis it would also be like saying that hash should be the same price per gram as the bud it came from. There is no way that it makes any logical sense for saffron to cost the same as weed, roughly £8-10 a gram.
