"Those were the Days".....
Back when computers filled up a whole room and PC's were just a dream I had to find other ways to entertain myself until Vice developed his Evochron Universe....hehehe. I found jumping out of perfectly good airplanes a Great way to pass the time and get ones knees in the Breeze. Here is an old photo of my rig deploying my parachute.....the pilot chute was known as a "Grabber" and the "Pod" is what contained my Parachute and you can see the suspension lines releasing from the pod....Aaaah those were the Days

Yeah! Why bother with the helmet at all? If the chute doesn't open, that helmet won't do you much good!

@ MMaggio: I had jumped with a Hockey helmet for years with a sticker placed on the front that said: "in case of death do not open!! Deadly Snakes inside!!" Ha-Ha-Ha what a Hoot

Me and a co-worker went to the first skydiving meeting on a Monday night ... the instructor said our first jump would be on Saturday. We decided we'd be better off working on Saturday.

Awesome Bravehart! I hope the actual parachute was bigger than the "Grabber"!
