      Your welcome. That's 152 meters. This height allows for emergency chute deployment if needed. This height minimizes scatter and time to ground.

      Wallace Wood most practice jumps are around 1200 to 2000 feet. We jumped into Grenada at around 400 give or take. Swear felt like chute opened and no air time.

    My half brother just failed and has to go to jail cuz he wouldn't pull his ripcord! He's a rightya black person. Lt. told him: if he doesn't do it, she can take over his lieutenant and he work for her in the sand.
    .
    If your left, you got to pull the top left helmet.. if you're a right you got to pull the right lever. Ricord.
    .
    State troopers: it's your belt loop on the right hand rather you are left-handed or right-handed. I'm a cop
    .
    I cannot have you guys fail this one task. pulled the parachute so you don't sit at Denny's wondering why I filled you!
    .
    When he starts tapping on his gauge pull your f****** double cord.
    .
    Now if you don't pull the shoot? he fails to.. He should just drop you so he keeps his job, and just writes you up an incident report.
    .
    People wave their hands to (no no) you. You have to push those people off the plane too they're trying to stop you they're probably civilian.
    .
    The plane to broom! If next class can't get on to plain, it's another failure.
