the Long Island Skydiving Center, all main parachutes are packed by our instructors or our staff FAA certificated parachute riggers. Auxiliary or reserve parachutes are inspected and repacked every 120 days, per FAA regulations, by our staff FAA certificated parachute riggers.

No. If we ever had a serious enough situation to consider bailing out over the ocean, we would be better off trying to ditch the aircraft. We do carry life preservers and there are two twenty man rafts containing survival gear stowed in the aircraft’s wings.

First of all, people generally have an unrealistic view of parachutes as bringing something drifting softly to the ground like a little Estes rocket. The reality is that heavy items dropped with parachutes, even when they are designed for it, hit the ground like they have been pushed off a roof. Military air drops of vehicles use disposable crushable pads under them for the terminal shock absorption. Our current vehicles are over 2000 pounds at liftoff, and they are only getting bigger.

If the sample return capsule lands on its own, some of the delicate collector materials will likely break, making the sample more difficult to identify and categorize. The sample would still be valuable, but it would take longer for scientists to sort through the broken pieces.

Powered parachutes consist of a parachute and an undercarriage. The wing is just like a parachute canopy, only bigger and beefier. They are specifically designed to handle the weight of the undercarriage. The undercarriage is much like that of a trike. These types of aircraft are controlled by actuators that deform the wing, much like a skydiver maneuvers his or her canopy.

Normally in mountain climbing, the big loads start at 50 pounds and go to about 90 (after that, the climber is lying... which is perfectly acceptable)..." [CLICK FOR FULL ANSWER]

There are no parachutes, the same as on an airliner. If the engine quits, small planes glide down; they do not fall out of the sky. In the rare, rare event that a problem does occur, you are safer in the airplane; 80 percent of all small plane accidents do not result in a fatality.

My name is Ben and I am sixteen years old. I don't fly that often these days, but just recently, I have never been so scared of flying! In July, I flew to Almeria, Spain from Manchester. I live in Glasgow but had to drive to Manchester as there were no flights from Glasgow. I felt the drive was safer. My fears are, what if the plane is struck by lightning and the tail falls off. Please try and answer this hypothetically.

No. When you have an aircraft with the safely record of the PPC, it is extraordinary to find one with an emergency chute.

Back pain is pervasive among American adults, but a new and disturbing trend is emerging. Young children are suffering from back pain much earlier than previous generations, and the use of overweight backpacks is a contributing factor, according to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA). In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that backpack-related injuries sent more than 7,000 people to the emergency room in 2001 alone.

If the instructions on the pack are followed the heat packs should not burn. If however they are left on all night whilst sleeping, the concentration of heat may increase and a low temperature burn may occur. Always read the instructions and always adhere the pad to clothing and never the skin.

As far as we know, Tasmanian devils do not form packs (a pack being an organised group of animals of the same species). However, devils can be found in one place in large numbers and they may even be trying to hunt the same animal. It does not mean they are organised even though the confusion they cause may give them advantages.

Our Medal line of packs also feature an integrated rain flap for a little extra protection.
