I’m a former Instructor, Jumpmaster with US Parachute Assn. I’m old school, but when you talk about a hard landing on an air foil canopy, a bad flair or stall must be considered.

Under the wrong circumstances, the airfoil can beat the jumper to the ground.

I have friends with over 14,000 jumps. I stopped shy of 500.
