How do you clean a skydiving rig?
You can wash your rig in a bath tub with a nice mild detergent like Woollite or Fairy. Start the process with soaking the harness in the slightly warm bath for a while (how long to soak in the bath will be up to how dirty the rig is), and use a soft brush to get rid of the stains and grease if there are any.
How do you store a canopy?
Storage should be in a cool dry place – like a closet or other inside location without sunlight through a window. Avoid storing your canopy where vermin or insects could gnaw or contaminate your gear. Keep your canopy unpacked in a stash bag if you won’t be jumping for long periods of time.
What does it feel like to freefall?
In freefall, it’s just pure fresh air. You hear the loud rush of wind. It’s similar to static from blowing into a microphone, or the loud sound in your head the moment you splash into water. It is not harsh or painful, but it is too loud to carry on conversation.
