rig on ebay!
I just ran across this on ebay. Read the discription. I laughed my ass off. The bad thing is something like this could get in the wrong hands.

I hope I posted that link right. If not hopefully someone will fix it. I just don't get this clicky thing.

Re: [pringles] rig on ebay!
well the base jumping part would be a no no, but I can easily beleive that someone got around to cleaning out the closest finally found thier old rig from lets say the early 80s and decided to sell it, not knowing that things have changed A LOT.

I was trying to score it for nostalgia purposes. I don't know what the reserve is, but it's too high for that thing.

>Nice Warp III parachute, 450 jumps on Pegasus 7 cell, round reserve. >Snappy opening, great for base jumping.
