Default Cost of parachute repack ....

With all the confidence in the world she looked
me in the eye and said, "If I rig it, it will open."


All riggers believe that. However, in the approx 25 years I have
owned a chute I have been told twice when a different rigger packed it
that the previous one had done it wrong. I had also had a helpful
rigger make a modification at his own initative. A rigger packing it
later advise me the mod was unapproved, violated the TSO
certification, and had to be removed.

So use a confident rigger and hope he actually is a good as he thinks
he is.
