    So this guy has got his 5-10% quote in every media possible and then says it is a guess.

    Exactly!

    Everyone knows they dont know for sure and they are guessing.

    Experts?.................my @rse!

    Your almost there 2.5 out of 3.:wink:

    Reminds of doing a few parachute jumps a few years ago at a little air base in Shrewsbury, some of the instructers were non hats (doing it for free jumps), anyway just done the training explaining what you would do in an emergency and a girl we new who had done the training earlier came over and said ' I am not supposed to tell you butI have just had a mally' Apparantly she had roman candle but didn't use the reserve and still landed safely, (it happened two time after and she was grounded in the end) put us in a good frame of minds when it was our turn. The parties were good, I think the airfield was closed down in the end.

    What's a "mally" and what's a "Roman Candle"?

    A mally is a malfunctioning parachute, roman candle is when the strings wrap around the canvas preventing the parachute from opening properly.
