I know a guy at our drop zone that had a similar description. He kind of forgot he just bought a Paralet and had it on his helmet -- when it went off, he thought, oh my god -- pull time and he did it right then! But he does lots of other stupid things occationally too. I just can't blame the Paralert for this. Even he only made this mistake once -- so the recommendation is to make a solo jump with the device first to get used to it. ============================================================================== Dane Meyer (Texas Instruments, Dallas site) ARPA: ==> Meyer%waltz%TI-CSL@CSNET-Relay CSNET: ==> Meyer@TI-CSL USENET: ==> {convex!smu, ut-sally, texsun, rice}!waltz!meyer
