 I have recently skydived a Prodigy 1 wingsuit. At 6 th jump I tried to increase lift by pushing down a bit more the arm wings...almost immediately my right arm wing was unclipped and blown off.. I got stable and deployed safely. I still had plenty of height..The arm wings were correctly installed..I know that Prodigy 2 has better clips now.

Has anybody else lost an arm wing on a Prodigy 1 jump? In Base that would be a real killer..

I also jumped 3 times a S Fly Expert and that was very stable flight...more than flying the Prodigy1...The arm wings of Prodigy 1 seems to me quite nervous, creating much drag and difficult to control.. Or that is just me..?

I experienced a prodigy1 wing disconnect on a wsbasejump, it was properly connected prior, and it was not " a real killer"

Shit happens, deal with it or bitch about it, it's up to you.

Thanks for the reply Any other input on this issue I'll appreciate a lot!

P.S. as long as I have the suit..I'll have to use it anyway...

I did 80 Base jumps with the Prodigy 1 and one time when i was jumping from the High Nose in Lauterbrunnen the right wing unfastened in the third second in free fallen and when i saw this wing free i put in tracking position. I flew very stable in tracking with the right wing free and everything was okay.

In case is unfastened again..I'll just keep tracking.
Thanks for the tip

Pushing down? you mean air-brake?

Its also not to hard to replace the loops with an RSL shackle or other simple quick-release connection...

Thanks a lot for the tip I'll have it modified..!

I was there and yes, "Sensei" performed a realy nice track with the unfastened arm wing
That was a safe flight, indeed
