    Hey Nigel,

    Thank you for your account of that night. Sorry you had to witness the mistake of using a pullup cord to pack the pilot chute and hear that hideous sound. Were you you taught the same method?

    years ago i was huckin this building. over and over and over.....
    one night, somewhere between old blue, climbing through the fence, bobbing and weaving, and flying up 37 flights of stairs, my pc feel out of the boc. so i tripped a bit and just went hand held. i always packed it with a clamp. i didn't have one.

    I have been taught to pack, but not how to do the pilotchute,

    That's because I am still learning by PCA and have no need to stow the PC yet,

    Pauls service was yesterday, and we celebrated his life last night in a fashion that he would be proud of,

    Be safe

    people still use lots of pull up cords for packing ,to keep line ,risers ,and pilot chutes open .most base jumpers are simply to dam cool if you tell them not to do it . i think(because it doesnt matter how clean you pack base packing to me seems like the same than any other parachute sloppy packjob =perfect opening, perfect packjob ****ty opening) leave all these packing tools at home you dont need them .and if you can pack a pilotchute without a pull up ,or rubberband sell your base rig and start surfing.

    Old thread, don't wish to alarm anybody when they see the subject title,

    Just to let you all know that the inquest into Paul Smith-Crallen's death will be held on Wednesday 26th July in Gravesend, Kent.

    I'm not looking forward to it at all, but i will (although we already know) tell you all what happens and what was said.

    Stay Safe

    Nigel

    (If anybody would like details of where and when the inquest will be held please PM me)
