I can't find a parachute big enough to hold me, because I'm a really fat bastard. Any tips? Regards Nick.

my last posting maybe true but was not sent by me. I think that anyone who jump
s out of a perfectly good plane (whilst very high up) is out of his/her/its hea
d. Dont bother replying to this as i never read this section.
sorry i left my account logged in and let Ken Carter (soon unemployed Operator
- who is not worth employing) 'ave a go.
Dont forget to count to 100 before pulling those cords....

Yes, keep trying to become less fat. Either that, or seriously, I thought when you buy new gear that they build a rig to fit you? You could do that and maybe you could then buy a tandem rig canopy, whic is generally meant to carry twice as much weight as a regular canopy.

Contact some canopy manufacturers. After all they make recovery parachutes for all sorts of things (jeeps, tanks, rockets,....) Then again, maybe this is not the sport for you?
