InDirect Control

This page is a chapter in 'BASE Wiki Packing'

In Direct Control: Indirect control is a technique used to promote a staged deployment in slider-up BASE jumps. Together with Direct Control, indirect control acts to prevent the slider from descending until the canopy has come to line stretch.
Indirect Control


Indirect control involves taking a bight of line perhaps 5 inches long and stowing it through an Elastics generally located between the tail pocket and top skin of the canopy at the rear edge, as in the picture to the right. This bight is taken before the lines are stowed.


Unlike direct control, indirect control can be used on both slider-up and slider-down or -off jumps, though it is less common in the latter cases.
