Good post Jason! There are some out there who are afraid of not packing the chute right and that being the point of failure at the end of the run.

Great post....it's also a good idea to watch people pack their chutes in the pits if you have never done it or seen it done before.

Just a simple piece of advice for all the drivers out there pack your own chute. Don't make your crew do it than it is one less thing to worry about.

We made Stephan pack his own chute everytime so if something happens they have no one to blame, but themselves especially on a chute.

Its just like in skydiving you pack your own chute.
