Brake settings

[dexter]

I tried posting this on DZ.com but haven't gottan any responses. Maybe you guys can help me.

I was discussing something in an email last week and after thinking about this, I'm a little confused. The more I think about it, the more it confuses me. Maybe you can help me see through my brain fart.

I own a canopy and I have the deep brake settings dialed in perfectly for my exit weight. If I let a lighter jumper use the canopy, and he uses my deep brake setting, what will happen?

Will the lighter jumper experience a stall because he is loading the canopy less?

With the same brake setting, will a higher wingloading result in a faster forward speed?

The heavier the jumper, the deeper the brake setting?

Stay safe out there! ---Dex

"Flail-stall"

The lighter jumper will stall (canopy) because his weight is not enough and flail (because he hasn´t got the gumption to buy his own gear). joke I hope.

Yes. and the stall speed goes up to a faster forward speed also.
