Yes and no… Not “almost all skydiver’s” but all of them ware a reserve And not to say that your old… But wow they havent wore reserve chut’s on there chest In a long time,Mabay the Military still ware’s It that way I don’t know about them but as far as sport jumping goes both the main and reserve are on the back’s …Sorry If I made you sound old…LOL bye. Steve D
Im on my level 4 AFF jump and i have to say that it is well worth the money if anyone is concerned with that aspect. It’s the most fun you can have with your clothes on
Wrong there Dazzlerdazzles you are right about the main and the reserve but USPA and the faa does not make a skydiver ware an AAD… They should because It can save your life, but they don’t
I did a tandem jump in Sep, and it was easy and the best thing ive ever done, and im scared of heights, now im going onto AFF to get my license. Do it, you’ll never look back.
every sport parachute jump must take place with a MAIN canopy , a RESERVE canopy and an AAD or CYPRES as they are commonly referred to … if all three fail ( EXTREMELY unlikely ) … well then at least you had fun trying .. haha BLUE SKIES boys and girls ..
Yes. You must be sure that the main parachute wont open if you want to open the backup parachute. I asked because I don’t want to jump without backup. I am not a BASE jamper and probably never be. BASE is insane.
but if you pull your cord by accident for the reseve well your on the ground you wont know it till you jump and the both come out, then you can get rid of one and hope it doesnt destroy the other or keep them both and hope they dont split, if this happens most likly your efed one way or another, maybe not dead but still efed
QUESTION. I know military (airborne) jumps with a backup parachute. Is there backup in civillian version of these jums? And is there one when jumps in tandem.

i think almost all divers use a back up there is always a chance your shoot wont open i seem to remember its normally strapped to your chest

At least I’ve got second chance

There is a backup in single and tandem! There’s also a device called aad that fires the reserve chute if you don’t do anything.
