CHAPTER

The FFT on a Cyclone Isn't Enough.

The first time I started using a Cyprus before that it was all FFTs. Everything has to be tied duct taped super glued. You can't have Velcro. Well, so if you're strobe, right, those old school strobes is connected to your helmet and your bridle wraps around it, like it's just going to pull on your head. So whole point being that's, that's how we were losing guys. No idea what happened in Free Vault because you're hopping out at 3,500 feet.

And, and that's the very first time that we, I started using a Cyprus before that it was all FFTs. So on water jumps, there's no FFTs. Correct. It's just such a bad idea to put it on your main. Yeah. So we lost a guy. And he is, the investigation and thought that his, you know, he, he pulled his rip cord and his pilot shoot, the strap on his pilot shoot. Right. Yeah. Thank you. Again, been a minute. Yeah. Wrapped around the strobe on the back of his helmet and back then, I'm sure you remember back then it was like nothing can fall off of you. Yeah. Everything has to be tied duct taped super glued. Right. And it was Velcro. Yeah. Is not enough. No, you can't have Velcro. Well, so if you're strobe, right, those old school strobes is connected to your helmet and your bridle wraps around it, like it's just going to pull on your head. Oh, and you know, what are you going to do? So even if you were able, let's say you were able to cut it away, if it's still attached to your head, the likelihood of your reserve entangling with your main is super high. Super high. When they found that shoot, yeah, both, you know, both the main and the reserve were deployed. No idea, obviously what happened in Free Vault because you're, I mean, you're hopping out at what? 3,500 feet. Water jump, yeah. 3,000 feet, something like that on a Rams package. So whole point being that's, that's how we were losing guys.
