Yes actually it is more based on the combined weight than anything else. We can take about 200-450 lbs in the chute most of the time (probably 90 percent of the time). Sometimes we can take less (maybe as low as 150 lbs. Combined weight in very light wind) and sometimes more (upwards of 550 lbs in medium-light wind).
It all depends on the wind and which chute we are using, so that is at the captain’s discretion. We may have to shuffle people around a little to accommodate weight requirements.
