Integer:
Does anybody know which parachutes are used for base jumping and where they can be found? I can't find their names on the web, but only about their characteristics.

The parachutes are not tailored specially for base jumping, that's why jumpers use standard sport parachutes removing the system of delayed opening in them.
The thing is that the opening of the canopy is intentionally lengthened in time not to injure the parachutist by dropping his speed sharply. For example, in Soviet Po-9 it is a halyard of an extraction parachute running along the contour of the main parachute. The main canopy, when unfolded, attracts the extractor parachute to itself. In PTX it is the steel rings on the groups of slings assembled at the base of the canopy - the canopy, filling up, 'pulls' them down to the parachutist.

A jump from low altitude with zero horizontal velocity requires the quickest possible opening, not to the detriment of safety, of course.

P.S. I wouldn't advise anybody to do this pornography - there is a technology of parachuting worked out for decades, adrenaline will be enough for you, believe me.

I jumped from a thousand, but with an instructor from a higher altitude?о higher?


From 3000 meters. And it won't open the dome right away. It's worth it.

To the question of the meaning of life.

Recently (since a year), I have started to notice how all the phenomena of everyday life have merged into a single background, grey and inconspicuous... ...that doesn't evoke emotion... desires...

A desire to embellish a little bit emerged. Smoke Marie Baths and other things tried, of course, but... The one-way road is also depressing.

Digging in the MARK has a way of draining all your energy and leaving you in that state for a long time.

The alco-trash is sickening.

All in all, you need new clean emotions. Sound familiar? I've found my own way of a healthy detachment from reality, slipping out of the Procrustean bed of my own life, so to say, home-work-home.

What about you? Who struggles with existential chondra?
