The bodies are falling in a manner that does not double the drag. That's my guess. Stabilizing also prob... No telling what the newb is gonna do when they start falling.


Agreed. I'm saying 2 bodies will increase the drag (not double it). I can see stabilizing the fall but I've always heard the use of the drogue chute is the decrease the fall rate which to me sounds incorrect.

Update: Even Wikipedia (not the best source, I know) indicates the purpose of the drogue chute is to slow down a tandem jump. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
