You know it - with all the *** that can happen to a pin from the
moment the rig is on to the moment you arrive in the loading area -
its a wonder bags aren't falling out left and right on that last few
feet into the comparative safety of the loading area, where the forces
which can shift a pin from its loop greatly drop off from where they
were on that grueling and punishing journey travelled from packing.

Yawl quit playing grab ass in the loading area or walking to it and
theirs no problem



You had a bag fall out in the loading area, Jinnie?

No but I've seen one fall out, its a hoot, talk about red
faced......the kid couldn't have been more embarrassed if his zipper
was down in Church.....he had about 800 jumps too. Complacency was the
culprit I'm thinking.....Yours is mental though.

How come the pincheck in the loading area didn't catch this before it
occurred? I thought that took care of it all?



Wearing booties, 800 Jumps? He was one of those get the *** away from
me
deguello types....To his credit, the guy always checked his pin before
putting on the rig......It was a worn closing loop that dropped his
bag...the pin was seated...Dunno
their was this thing about closing loops and rubber stows in the early
90's. Just about every body but the jumping riggers wore them down to
the last thread before changing out....I've seen loop freaks take the
time to slip the pull up cord under a seated pin before pulling it
out.....Whipping the pull up cord out heats up the loop, didya know
that?

Not just heat, dingleberry - the pullup cord will actuall saw into the
closing loop a little each time. Back in Beaumont they showed the new
jumpers early on how to slip the cord under the pin and while pulling
up on the pin, remove the cord with almost no friction on the closing
loop. Same thing at Waller - it ain't rocket science.


Being a curious type I always had my nose stuck in other peoples
business

As opposed to actuallt listening to what they were trying to teach you
at the time.

so I'm over there inspecting loops to see how thin they are. came
across several with a brown streak right at the pin. So a rigger goes
"LEAVE THOSE PACKERS ALONE SNUFFY!" and I say, whats this brown slash?
"Pull up cord friction, now get away!"
You are a tree packer........SCAT!"

He called you scat? Seems he knew what he was talking about - and to
who.

hummmm maybe I need to go look for
some some para cord....My loop displayed no signs of friction burn but
I'm always thinking. That's what makes me such a wonderful philosopher
in my old age....All that thinking"

Thinking's one thing - thing things through - don't think you ever got
to that level. Still, how come the pincheck in the loading area
didn't catch the bag out in the loading area before it occurred? I
thought you said check in theloading area, no problems.
