August 3, 2014 - Leapfest is the
largest, longest standing, international static line
parachute training event and competition. Each team
consists of 5 participants: 4 jumpers and 1 alternate
jumper.
Jumpers exit from a CH-47 Chinook
helicopter at an altitude of 1500 feet (457 meters)
using an MC-6 static line, steerable, parabolic
parachute. Participants aim to land as close as possible
to a marked, designated area within the landing zone.
Upon landing and completing a PLF (parachute landing
fall), participants are timed by qualified judges until
they reach the designated area.
