Lol yea I was hoping they would make parachutes little less on the opening thing I can open my chute at 200 meters and land in water and die lol thats a bit unrealistec lol other wise I love the changes lol

Well, I do know you need to fall with the chute for 30 seconds or you take damage. IRL I think the absolute minimum to deploy your reserve in civi skydiving is something like 400 feet, which is under 200m, but I could be wrong on the minimum height.

Thats a broken spinal cord for sure. You gotta remember that these guy are dressed in full combat gear so you have to account for the extra 100 pounds. Also to the first post who thinks water drops being fatal is unrealistic, a 60 foot drop on to water is the equivalent of hitting concrete.

If you managed to read the rest of the post you would see that I also added that the guys that are parachuting in PR are not civies and pilots have about 150 pounds of survival gear that must be accounted for. Please think thoroughly before you troll.

Wasn't talking about military paradiving. Goes without saying soldiers are heavier.

well most of the SF HALO jumpers open chutes at extremely low altitudes, a few hundred meters if not less, and they get along just fine in the water afterwards.

keep it as it is

They are? Damn. I thought I'd hit a good spot of irony there

So... If I was to make a thread about d*cks, we'd get a lot of gay porn ads?

Guess so.

For the record, a 60 foot drop into water is extremely survivable, especially if you drop in vertically. Competitive divers have been using 45 foot high platforms for years, and all they wear is a light swimsuit and sometimes a cap. With full combat gear you are just going to end up with a great deal of depth after you enter the water.

As far as parachutes go, in .7 the number is 30 seconds to avoid all damage, 10 to avoid death. In real life even a low level jump (500 ft) is going to leave troopers in the air for at least this long. A pilot ejecting from a plane is going to be in a whole lot longer, because from 30,000 feet it takes a long frickin time to come back down, although most ejection seats don't initiate there chutes until they reach a much more modest high I believe.

500 ft is a number I've heard most often for safe deceleration of a jumper, both in civil and military jumping. Keep in mind that civil jumps are generally much more controlled than most military jumps, and end in running out your momentum as opposed to the more violent roll used by military jumpers. So a few hundred meters should be more than good enough.

There is a big difference chlorine pool water and natural hard water. Have you ever noticed that you swim faster in a pool than a river or a lake. Clean chlorine water has just about half as less viscosity than salt water. Yes you can survive a 60 foot drop but it will hurt like hell.
