No, I actually meant it the way it came out.

At my old club on a bad day, we might get 800 feet on the winch.
I never felt that if I had a problem, I'd be able to get out of the
glider and deploy the 'chute in time. So that was the time I might
not bother with the 'chute. But you can be sure that if conditions
showed the slightest possibility of being better the I'd be prepared!

I've never flown since if there was ever a chance of getting above winch
launch height. Yes some will laugh, but they did that we got seat belts
in
cars didn't they?

Hi Malcom, I think you meant to say you've never flown without one
since. Just wanted to clarify that.

Thanks
