Threw this together in a minute. Just a few of the clips I have. I posted the wrong clip for the running exit. I didn’t even “proofwatch” it. I made up that word. It’s still light out I am going to bed I am so tired. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/Screenshot2011-06-12at112333PM.png](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/Screenshot2011-06-12at112333PM.png) ---

I’m not entirely sure if he meant the LZ or grabbing for the chute and getting it on the first grab? IDK ---

Is there a fail-safe for these type of chutes? For example, if you throw the “little chute”(sorry don’t know the actual name if there is one), and it doesn’t release the main chute, is there a cord you can pull or are you pretty much SOL at this point? Looks pretty kickass though! ---

It doesn’t take a whole lot of “tug”, it’s either velcro or a loop with a pin depending on the style that’s holding the main inside. ---

did a night jump from the catwalk under the bridge, a gainer, a barrel roll and a few other things today. Also did a few unpacked jumps, which are pretty gnarly… I have 2 rigs to pack, but I’ll try and get some new photos up tonight. > [@Inn-Tune](#): > > Tell me you didn’t make that camera mount with the rapid prototype machine… :snky: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/base-jumping/213299.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/base-jumping/213299.md?page=4)
