Ok, I have a question for the Parachute Riggers, Trainers, etc. I want to go skydiving a time or two before I get my Biplane done, just in case. I have back problems ( degenerative disc, arthritis, and bulging disc ). What would be the best canopy type for me? Best harness? Any other tips? ( besides don't do it... not an option. :rolleyes: ) I am very leery of skydiving after losing a close friend with hundreds of jumps experience to a late reserve opening. He knew what he was doing, I don't even have a clue. ( I have watched a chute being packed but that's it. ) :confused: I am already saving loose change for the jump school, hoping for spring 2014.

Thanks!
