Early Base jumping safety sheet when Basic Research was located in a trailer at the end of the runway at Perris dropzone.

Can you explain the chart a little. Are the numbers at the top the diameter of the chute?

The diameter of the pilot chute, the little tiny round parachute that catches wind and and pulls the big one out of the backpack aka container.

Did you have to have a custom made chute because of your weight, or did they give you one that the military uses when they drop vehicles out of planes?

Photo in need of a caption:

The museum in The Netherlands where I took the subject photo:

And if I recall correctly, this was the posted information regarding the painting itself:

And hanging close by was this Van Gogh:

Along with another that caught my fancy:

As a side note, the museum itself was located in the middle of a National Park close to where "A Bridge Too Far" was filmed and the battle subject of the filming took place during World War II. Here is my photo of "The Bridge" pictured in the movie as I caught it from the train.

Question on parachute etiquette.

I know why you call yourself Bi gmark. I've seen a pic of you. You must go about 315 lbs.

When you jump and land you must create a mini crater. Are you supposed to fill the hole afterwards, like golfers replacing divots?

Love the currency @asheland! My first thought was...I wish I knew more about paper currency because I love the artwork on some of those. Then my second thought was, the last thing I need is another thing to collect. I gotta stay focused. Those are beauties though.

There was nothing blocking the opening.

If you like rocks (which I do) here's a small one for you. The 1,758-carat Sewelo diamond in it's raw form. It's the second largest diamond ever found.

I'm sure the advancement in chutes, now a days, is great
but when I landed with a canopy chute, it was a rougher landing than the sport parachutes.
