German chutes 15 years? Because of their rules, from the time of silk canopies, cotton stitching, whereas in UK and in US it is on condition, the packer/rigger (assuming you know the difference) is signing it off as fit for purpose until next re-pack

And limitation of some UK chutes? Product liability insurance, no more, no less, and we operate here on a "fit for purpose" basis.

And those German chutes, some min deployment height 100 mtrs others 60 mtrs, and time 1.5 secs...any more questions
