Bottom line: dont pull the handle if you have the option of an emergency landing.

I agree Ed. Surprised about the full moon night landing safety record though. that's good news. many open areas are bumpier than it seems from the air. the idea of flipping and trying to get out with gas dripping really bugs me. it would have to be a farm-type field for me to feel comfortable and not freshly plowed either! I like the idea of dirt roads best. of course you could glide for awhile before pulling the chute and choose the best place to pull it, like over a freshly plowed field. Now we're talking!!! Cyrus
