Today, I made a point of talking to our parachute riggers, and thanking them for all they do. Today is also the first day I had to pull my reserve chute because my main chute didn't open correctly. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

It was just their idea of a joke-- "Hey, let's mispackage his main chute so that he freaks out." "Haha that's great."

A mistake that shouldn't happen, chutes that fail can seriously hurt or kill the poor bastard who got stuck with it.

You're racist, I'm sorry.

Do I sense some EMI ain't their future?

Reserve rides are an unavoidable part of the sport. Make peace with that. No FML here.

Lots of moderated comments, probably pertaining to "rigger." Smh.

Rigger please.

?If that main don't open wide Well I've got a reserve by my side And if that one should fail me too Look out devil I'm comin' for you.?

If that main don't open round I'll be the first frog on the ground

That sounds so scary! Glad Your ok.

At least you had a pair o' chutes... Sorry, had to...

Coincidence? I think not!

Well, they definitely rigged it then, did they not?
